Abstract	A physiographic province is a region with a particular pattern of landforms that differs significantly from that of adjacent regions. Each province has a distinctive geologic framework and particular combinations of topographic and hydrographic features that have evolved through geologic time. The individual landforms (e.g., mountains, canyons, alluvial fans) that in aggregate make up the varied natural landscapes of a given province reflect a variety of geomorphic processes. In New Mexico these range from the action of deep-seated (hypogene) forces, including volcanism and tectonism, such as erosion and sedimentation by water or wind.
