About this map

The Continental Divide winds through the southwestern corner of this high-desert landscape, crossing the crest of the Coyote Hills. The mapping reveals a sparse ranching and industrial infrastructure defined by water sources and transportation routes. Several namesake wells and tanks, such as Brockman Well, Warren West Well, and Coyote Tank, serve as vital landmarks for local history and land management.

An abandoned transportation corridor is preserved here as the Old Railroad Grade, which skirts the northern edge of the Brockman Hills and follows the natural path of Black Mountain Draw. This remnant of early regional development sits alongside modern infrastructure like the Pipeline, reflecting the evolution of utility and transit through the Grant County desert. Further east, Warren Ranch and the small settlement of Brockman anchor the human presence in this arid terrain.
