2013 Map of Upham Hills

About this map

Upham Hills and the prominent Point of Rocks define this arid landscape along the border of Sierra and Doña Ana counties. This 2013 survey illustrates a region shaped by ephemeral water management, where a series of catchment tanks like Kacy Tank, Turner Tank, and Pot Hole Tank are essential to the high desert terrain. The drainage network is clearly articulated through the Jornada Draw, Lyons Draw, and Blackshire Draw, while the western edge is marked by the winding path of the Rincon Arroyo. A network of rural roads, including Co Road A-22 and Co Road 75, provides the primary access through these townships, tracing the natural contours of the basin floor between the rocky outcrops.
