About this map

The town of Grenville stands as a focal point for this high-plains landscape, where the local street grid—including 1st St, 5th St, and Burlington St—meets the diagonal path of the Burlington Northern Santa Fe railroad. This modern survey reflects the enduring cattle-country infrastructure of Union County, defined by a network of ranch roads like Sand Mesa Rd and Blind Gap Rd that cross open rangeland.

Volcanic landforms dominate the southern horizon, featuring the prominent heights of Mt Clayton, Horseshoe Mtn, and the Kilburn Hills. These elevations overlook the seasonal drainages of Seneca Cr and Alamos Cr in the north. The map details the transition from the flat expanse of Sand Mesa into the breaks of Cherry Canyon, providing an exact view of the region's topography as it appeared in the early 21st century.
