About this map

Whiterock Mountain and Log Springs Mountain anchor this high-desert landscape in Grant County, where a network of cattle operations and remote water sources defines the local geography. The map traces the essential ranching infrastructure of the early 21st century, including the Parks Ranch, Booth Ranch, and several properties belonging to the Latham family, such as the F Latham Ranch and N Latham Ranch.

Survival in this arid terrain is marked by critical water points like Lightfoot Well, Bear Springs Windmill, and The Seep Spring. The topography is dissected by numerous drainages including Outlaw Canyon, Macho Canyon, and Taylor Canyon, while Pollock Creek and Berrenda Creek carve paths through the rugged elevations. This survey captures a moment when the regional economy remained tied to traditional land use and limited road access via routes like County Rd-B002.
