2017 Map of Upham Hills

About this map

The Upham Hills dominate the topography of this high desert region in northern Doña Ana County, rising sharply above the surrounding flats. This landscape is defined by the ephemeral drainage systems and water catchment features essential for ranching and survival in the arid West. Significant drainages like Jornada Draw, Lyons Draw, and Blackshire Draw cut across the terrain, while the inclusion of the Point of Rocks landmark indicates a distinctive geological presence in the southern portion of the quadrangle.
