2017 Map of Alameda Spring

About this map

Squaw Peak stands as a prominent landmark in this high-desert portion of Cibola National Forest, defining the topographical character of the northern Milligan Gulch region. The landscape is carved by numerous drainages, including Mill Canyon, Estaline Canyon, and Rock Springs Canyon, which illustrate the complex watershed system of the area. This 2017 survey documents the critical water infrastructure necessary for managing these arid lands, from natural sources like Alameda Spring to man-made catchments such as Barnet Tank, McDaniel Tank, and Rock Header Tank. The mapping of Forest 52 Rd and other service routes provides insight into the accessibility and management of the timber and grazing lands within the various township and range blocks that intersect here.
