About this map

Antelope Ridge and the surrounding high desert of Grant County are defined by a complex network of canyons and draws that direct the flow of seasonal waters. The landscape is dotted with essential ranching infrastructure, including Mud Flat Tank, Joes Tank, and Tadpole Tank, which illustrate the necessity of water management in this arid territory. The presence of Stout Cem near the eastern edge suggests the area's history of early 20th-century settlement and cattle ranching.

Drainages like Sycamore Cr and Lobo Cr carve through terrain marked by landmarks such as Black Mtn and Bald Knoll. These features, along with the Howard Cienega wetland, provide a detailed look at the geographic character of the region. The road network, including Black Mountain Rd and Norris Rd, links the various canyons and draws, such as Shields Canyon and Orphan Canyon, to the broader high-desert landscape.
