2010 Map of Whitewater

About this map

Whitewater and the nearby settlement of Stark anchor this Grant County landscape, positioned within a drainage system of ephemeral and seasonal watercourses. The network of San Vincente Arroyo, Oak Grove Creek, and Cherry Creek illustrates the complex hydrology of the high desert, where water movement is channeled through deep cuts in the terrain. The presence of White Water Rd and County Rd D002 indicates the local road infrastructure supporting the ranching or transit economy of the region. To the south, the profile of Hogback Mountain and the associated Hogback Draw dominate the topography, providing a stark geographic contrast to the flatter northern sections of the quadrangle. This survey offers a precise view of the rural Southwest just after the first decade of the 21st century.
