2023 Map of Werney Hill

About this map

Werney Hill rises above a high-desert landscape in Grant County, defined by a network of drainage draws and livestock watering tanks. The mapping of Burro Cienaga and various "tanks" like Coon Den Tank and Oak Canyon Tank highlights the critical role of water management for ranching in this arid environment. Transportation across the territory is facilitated by rural routes such as Johney Macdonald Rd and Separ Rd, which navigate the complex topography of the Malpais Hills and several significant canyons. Named features like Patterson Canyon and McDonald Draw suggest a history of local land use and family-settled landmarks. The presence of the Access Rd to Gage indicates modern utility and monitoring infrastructure within these traditional ranching lands.
