The high desert terrain of the Jarilla Mountains rises in the southwestern corner of this survey, overlooking the expansive floor of the Tularosa Valley. This 2011 imagery-based map captures a landscape defined by significant transit corridors and water management in a dry environment. The eastern edge is dominated by the long stretch of Us-54 S, a primary regional artery that intersects with NM-506 at Paxton Crossing. Further north, Escondida Crossing marks another key navigational point along the highway. In the more open valley floor, features like Moody Tank and a network of section roads including Co Road A011 reveal the underlying infrastructure of the Public Land Survey System, which divides the region into township and range blocks such as t20s r9e.
