2020 Map of West Lime Hills

About this map

The West Lime Hills and the northern reaches of the Tres Hermanas Mountains dominate this arid landscape in Luna County. This area is defined by a complex network of drainage systems, or draws, which are essential markers in the desert geography. Notable water-collection points like Bassett Lake, Jog Tank, and Hood Tank indicate the infrastructure necessary for land use in this dry basin. The terrain rises significantly toward the south, where Manning Canyon cuts through the high ground. Local transit is facilitated by a grid of county roads, including Co RD c013 and Settler Rd E, providing access to this high-desert environment. These features together show a region primarily managed for ranching and water conservation, typical of southwestern New Mexico's land management patterns.
