2017 Map of Wheatland
USGS Topo · Published 2017About this map
The settlement of Wheatland serves as the focal point for this 2017 survey on the High Plains, where the terrain transitions into a series of dramatic breaks and canyons. This landscape is defined by its verticality, with San Jon Hill overlooking a network of deep incisions including Tipton Canyon, Deadman Canyon, and Horseshoe Cave Canyon. The Wheatland Cemetery remains a significant marker of local history, situated just east of the main settlement. The geography is characterized by seasonal watercourses like the Arroyo Saladito and a rigid grid of roads that straddle the Quay County and Curry County line. These features suggest a ranching and farming economy shaped by the abrupt change from flat tablelands to the canyonlands of Grapevine Canyon in the southeast corner.
