The high desert landscape of Hidalgo County is defined by the sharp transition between the eastern slopes of the Animas Mountains and the flat expanse of the Playas Valley. This 2017 terrain study reveals a network of seasonal watercourses descending from the peaks, including Darling Cr, Cottonwood Cr, and the branching reaches of Gillespie Creek. These ephemeral streams illustrate the natural drainage patterns that have historically dictated movement and land use in this arid region.
