2013 Map of Werney Hill

About this map

Water management in the arid Southwestern landscape defines this area of Grant County, where a network of cattle tanks and draws supports ranching operations. Significant landmarks include Werney Hill, the Malpais Hills, and JPB Mtn, which punctuate a terrain carved by Patterson Canyon and Still Canyon. The map reveals a reliance on essential water sources such as White Rock Tank, Jonnie Tanks, and Arvin Tanks, each strategically placed near ephemeral drainages like McDonald Draw and Antelope Draw. Infrastructure is sparse, primarily consisting of unpaved ranch roads like Separ Rd and Jonnie Mcdonald RD that traverse the township boundaries. This 2013 survey provides a clear view of the geographic names and livestock improvements used by local landowners and ranchers in the early 21st century.
