About this map

H Bar Y Ranch sits at the heart of this high-desert landscape in Grant County, where the drainages of Buckhorn Creek and Duck Creek define the local topography. The area is characterized by a network of canyons and peaks, most notably Bear Mountain and the western reaches of the Mule Mountains. Water management is evident through several tanks and catchments, including Upper Goat Canyon Tank and Lower Goat Canyon Tank, which support ranching operations in this arid environment.

Transportation through Bear Valley and the surrounding hills relies on local routes like Moon Ranch Rd and H-Y Rd. The map tracks several intermittent waterways such as Fivemile Creek and Pine Creek, which carve deep paths through the terrain at Henderson Canyon and Mud Spring Canyon. This 2010 survey provides a clear view of the modern ranching footprint and the natural features of the New Mexico interior.
