1963 Map of Werney Hill

About this map

Frost Ranch, Morrell Ranch, and McDonald Ranch anchor this landscape in southwestern Grant County, where ranching life is tied to the scattered water sources and corrals of the high desert. The Continental Divide winds through the terrain, separating drainage basins like White Rock Canyon and Oak Canyon. Evidence of early mineral exploration appears at the Trimmer Mine and Werney Mine, while the southern reaches are dominated by the Malpais Hills and the volcanic prominence of JPB Mountain. The presence of several family-named tanks and corrals, such as Eubank Corral and John Bull Corral, reveals the historical livestock infrastructure required to survive in this arid environment before modern developments arrived.
