2023 Map of West Lime Hills

USGS Topo · Published 2023

About this map

The Tres Hermanas Mountains and West Lime Hills dominate this arid landscape in Luna County, where the terrain is defined by an intricate network of ephemeral watercourses and livestock infrastructure. Deeply etched channels like Bisbee Draw and Suckerville Draw cut through the northern sections, illustrating the natural drainage patterns that have shaped land use in the Chihuahuan Desert. The presence of named water features such as Bassett Lake, Jog Tank, and Hood Tank points to the essential ranching economy, where reliable water sources are critical for supporting cattle across the dry basin. Navigation through this remote area is facilitated by a grid of county roads and local routes including Sweetser and Inmon Ranch Rd Se, which connect the scattered canyons and draws. Notable landmarks like Manning Canyon and Lonesome Cabin Draw provide specific points of reference for those tracing local geographic history and land improvements in this corner of New Mexico.
