About this map

The industrial and educational hub of Grants and Milan occupies a high desert landscape defined by striking volcanic geology and the BNSF Railway. This 2013 survey highlights the dense street grid of Grants, stretching from the residential areas of Broadview Acres and Grants Canyon south to the volcanic terrain of The Malpais. The Homestake Mill to the north and the campus of New Mexico State University-Grants emphasize the local transition from mining industry to regional education.

Elevated landmarks like Grants Ridge, E Grants Ridge, and W Grants Ridge dominate the center of the sheet, while the rugged boundaries of the Cibola National Forest flank the eastern edge. Drainage is provided by the ephemeral Lobo Cr and the more significant Rio San Jose, which parallels E Santa Fe Ave. The map also details essential ranching infrastructure, including the Lobo Stock Tank and Roundy Stock Tank, situated near the head of Lobo Canyon.
