Brief
Description of Terrain, Elevation,
and Vegetation
The lower elevations (4,000') along State Hwy 191 are mixed farmland and Chihuahua Desert scrub. In this area, most of the countryside that isn't farmed is covered with creosote bush. The higher elevations in the Swisshelm Mountains (7,184') and the Peloncillo Mountains (6,447') have pinyon/juniper vegetation. In the San Bernardino Valley east of Douglas, desert grasslands stretch for many miles. |
