About this map

Brockman Hills and the Coyote Hills dominate this arid landscape in Grant County, separated by the southward path of the Continental Divide. The map captures a ranching and utility environment defined by water management in the Chihuahuan Desert, featuring numerous essential resources such as Brockman Well, Warren West Well, and Hudson Well. These points of survival supported the small settlement at Brockman and the nearby Warren Ranch.

Transportation and infrastructure are marked by the presence of an Old Railroad Grade cutting diagonally across the northern terrain, indicating a period of early industrial or mining transit now bypassed. A long Pipeline runs through the center of the quadrangle, crossing the desert floor alongside natural drainages like Black Mountain Draw. For local historians, the map provides a precise look at the placement of livestock infrastructure like Coyote Tank and Vista Tank in relation to the prominent mountain peaks.
