Animas Mountains dominate the landscape of this high-desert portion of Hidalgo County, rising sharply above the surrounding drainages. This region of the Bootheel is defined by its drainage systems, including the west-flowing Willow Cr and Whitmire Cr, which originate near the strategic high point of Whitmire Pass. Further south, McClean Cr and Rough Cr carve through the foothills, illustrating the hydraulic patterns that dictated early ranching and travel routes in this arid corner of New Mexico.
