About this map

Applegate Mtn stands as a central topographic anchor in this high-elevation Grant County landscape, where the terrain is carved by complex drainages like Thompson Canyon and Henderson Canyon. The map reveals a specialized cattle-ranching geography, defined by a dense network of water catchments including Summer Resort Tank, Willis Dickerson Tank, and Wire Corral Tank. These features, often named for local ranching families, highlight the vital importance of water management in the arid Southwestern uplands.

Remote canyons and prominent peaks like Black Mtn and Mud Spring Mtn dominate the survey, while Bald Knoll Rd provides the primary transit corridor through the rugged interior. Significant landmarks such as the aptly named Hells Hole and Steep Hollow illustrate the dramatic relief found between the various forks of Sycamore Cr. This 2020 edition documents the persistent land-use patterns of the region, where family names are etched into the geography through numerous spring-fed tanks and canyons.
