2017 Map of The Saltys

About this map

The Saltys rises as a prominent landmark in this section of Grant County, anchoring a landscape shaped by intermittent water sources and the high elevations of the Cedar Mountain Range. In this arid expanse, the distribution of water is recorded through several artificial reservoirs, including Midway Tank, Baker Tank, and Murray Tank, which provided essential support for ranching operations in the early 21st century. The terrain is marked by distinct peaks such as Black Mtn and the neighboring Turkey Knob, with drainage moving through Black Mountain Draw. Long-distance infrastructure is evident in the path of Pipeline Rd, while local access is maintained via S Well Rd, reflecting the sparse but functional network of a high-desert environment focused on resource management and livestock.
