2020 Map of Soldiers Farewell Hill

About this map

Soldiers Farewell Hill stands as a prominent landmark in this desert landscape of Grant County, marking a terrain defined by volcanic hills and seasonal watercourses. The drainage of Burro Cienaga cuts through the center of the sheet, providing a vital geographic corridor through the arid environment. Local landmarks named for early residents or surveyors include Bessie Rhoads Mtn and JPB Mtn, alongside features like South Well Canyon and China Draw. The map records a modern network of ranching and utility roads, such as Gage Rd and the Access to Gage Rd, which navigate the space between the Malpais Hills and various livestock water sources like Jarrell Tank Number 1. This survey provides a precise account of the high-desert topography and range improvements as they existed in the early 21st century.
