2010 Map of Gage NW

About this map

The high desert landscape of Grant County is defined by a sparse network of ranching infrastructure and seasonal drainage paths in this 2010 survey. The settlement of Wilna sits along the interstate corridor, while the surrounding terrain is punctuated by family-named landmarks like Parker Ranch, Tilch Ranch, and Baker Ranch. These sites, along with isolated outposts such as Nobinson Windmill and Big Windmill, illustrate the critical importance of water management in an arid environment where ranching and resource extraction are primary activities.
