2017 Map of Brockman

About this map

The Brockman settlement serves as the central anchor for this southwestern New Mexico landscape, dominated by desert elevations and essential water catchment features. The terrain is defined by the prominent Brockman Hills and Coyote Hills, while the drainage of Black Mountain Draw cuts through the northern sections. This 2017 survey highlights the region's importance for long-distance recreation, as the Continental Divide National Scenic Trail winds through the southwestern corner, crossing the high ground between local water sources like Vista Tank and Coyote Tank. These man-made tanks, including Brockman Tank, illustrate the critical infrastructure required for ranching and land management in this arid environment, providing clear landmarks for those tracing modern trail routes or land ownership boundaries across the Grant County desert.
