About this map

Greg Hills rise above a landscape defined by an intricate network of desert drainages and ranching outposts in this Grant County survey. The terrain is dominated by the broad paths of China Draw and Chandler Draw, which collect runoff from the surrounding uplands. Whiterock Canyon and Black Canyon cut through the northern and western reaches, while Macho Canyon snakes across the eastern edge of the quadrangle.

Settlement is sparse, centered on the White Rock Ranch in the northwest and Graham Ranch to the east, reflecting the enduring cattle-rearing economy of the region. Vital water sources are scattered throughout this arid environment, including Greg Spring near the canyon head and the China Tank reservoir. A grid of county roads, such as County RD-B001 and County RD-A024, provides the primary access through the draws and across the flats, linking these remote ranching operations.
