New Mexico has some of the best hunting opportunity in the US.
The map it’s self should be broken up in 2 areas
Desert & Ponderosa Pine forest.
Desert should be unique with desert rocky mountains, white sand dunes and mesquite flats, maybe even throw in the lava flow.
The Timber forests can be simple like sliver lake.
It would be cool and realistic to see the changes in the landscape from low desert mesquite to high desert juniper’s & cedars to high timber Pines.
