About this map

Muir Ranch sits at the heart of this high-desert landscape on the border of Hidalgo and Grant counties. The terrain is defined by a series of intermittent drainages like Muir Draw, Black Mountain Draw, and the winding path of the Burro Cienaga. These seasonal watercourses flow toward the Lordsburg Valley, supporting a ranching economy dependent on numerous livestock watering points such as Homestead Tank and the Brockman Dirt Tank.

The southwestern corner of the sheet is marked by the path of the Continental Divide National Scenic Trail, which traverses the slopes near South Uhl Draw. The map documents a sparsely populated region where named landmarks like Homestead Hill and Oak Canyon provide critical navigation points. Local transportation is facilitated by a network of rural routes including Muir Rd and Bar T Rd, connecting isolated ranching outposts across the arid basin and range country.
