About this map

Mining operations and ranching legacies define this high-altitude landscape in Grant County. The area south of Eagle Eye Peak is a concentrated zone of mineral exploration, featuring the Malone Mines, Yankee Girl Mine, and the Lost Prospector Mine. These industrial sites, alongside the Three Js Claims and the Fred L Group, suggest a history of prospecting that sought to capitalize on the region's complex geology, including the Thomson Canyon Perlite Deposit.

Remote homesteads like Brock Ranch and Cureton Ranch are connected by a network of primitive tracks, including the Tyrone Thompson Canyon Rd. Water management is critical in this arid environment, evidenced by the Chocolate Peak Dam and several livestock water sources such as Live Oak Tank and Fence Tank. The map reveals a transition from the drainage systems of Mill Canyon and Ray Canyon toward the prominent heights of Knight Peak and Brock Ridge.
