The high desert landscape of Whitewater is defined by its seasonal watercourses and prominent volcanic topography. The terrain is marked by the presence of Hogback Mtn and the adjacent Hogback Draw, while a series of intermittent streams including San Vicente Arroyo, Oak Grove Cr, Cameron Cr, and Cherry Cr cross the area. This 2020 USGS survey documents a region where transportation is tied to the topography, as seen with White Water Rd and Bertha Moore Rd. The map also captures the political boundary between Grant and Luna Counties, showing the rural infrastructure and road network such as Co Rd B002 that supports the local ranching and mining region of southwestern New Mexico.
