2017 Map of Tres Hermanos

About this map

Tres Hermanos sits in a high desert landscape within Otero County, defined by its sparse water resources and historic transit routes. This 2017 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey captures a region where survival and movement are tied to isolated landmarks and catchment basins. The Old Las Cruces Hwy cuts across the northern half of the map, tracing a traditional path through the arid terrain. Prominent natural elevations like Lone Butte and Twin Buttes serve as essential navigational anchors in the open country.
