About this map

Bertoglio-Merrill Ranch and the Diamond A Ranch anchor this high-desert landscape in Grant County, illustrating the enduring cattle-ranching traditions of the American Southwest during the early 21st century. The terrain is defined by the broad Playas Valley and prominent elevations such as Coyote Peak, the Brockman Hills, and the Coyote Hills.

Resource extraction and water management are the primary drivers of human activity here, evidenced by the Waldo Mine and Brockman Mine situated near the hills. A complex network of water features, including New Coyote Tank, East Center Tank, and South Tank, supports livestock across the arid expanse. Long-distance infrastructure is also present, with Pipeline Rd and Minie Farms Rd cutting through the desert, while the isolated Lone Hill Windmill serves as a lonely landmark in the valley flats.
