About this map

The high desert terrain of Grant County is defined by the Brockman Hills and Coyote Hills, where seasonal water management is critical for ranching and land use. The small settlement of Brockman sits near the northern edge of the sheet, surrounded by an expansive system of draws and tanks. Features such as Brockman Tank, Coyote Tank, and Vista Tank reveal how the landscape has been adapted for water storage in this arid environment.

Running through the southwestern portion of the map, the Continental Divide National Scenic Trail winds its way across the elevations, following the natural topography of the divide. This modern survey illustrates the intersection of recreation and ranching, showing how historical land divisions like t25s r16w and t25s r15w continue to organize the territory. The presence of Black Mountain Draw highlights the drainage patterns that have shaped the local geography over decades.
