Cottonwood Hills

The Cottonwood Hills are a small mountain range located in northeastern New Mexico, near the border with Texas. The range covers an area of approximately 100 square miles and features rugged, rocky terrain with steep canyons and valleys. The landscape is characterized by pinyon-juniper forests, high-elevation meadows, and occasional stands of ponderosa pine. Several perennial streams and creeks flow through the hills, providing habitat for a variety of wildlife species.
