About this map

The Animas Mountains dominate this high-desert landscape in Hidalgo County, where a network of ephemeral drainages flows from the mountain slopes toward the eastern plains. These watercourses, including Darling Creek, Cottonwood Creek, and Millsite Creek, define the topography and movement of the region. A solitary Check Dam located between the hills suggests the critical importance of water management and erosion control in this arid environment during the late 1970s and early 1980s. The map illustrates a remote cattle-ranching landscape where place names like Cowboy Creek and Gillespie Creek reflect local geography and heritage. The absence of significant settlements or road infrastructure emphasizes the high-elevation isolation of the southwest corner of New Mexico during this period of geological survey.
