Upham Hills and Point of Rocks define the high ground of this desert landscape, where water management is critical to the local geography. The presence of Houge Tank and various named drainage systems like Jornada Draw and Lyons Draw illustrate the seasonal flow of water through this arid region. The boundary between Sierra Co and Doña Ana Co bisects the southern portion of the sheet, providing a clear reference for researchers studying county-line property records or jurisdictional changes. A network of rural routes, including Co RD 75 and Co RD 77, connects these remote landmarks, tracing the modern paths through traditional ranching or transit corridors.
