2017 Map of Alegres Mountain

About this map

Alegres Mountain dominates the central topography of this Catron County landscape, surrounded by a complex system of drainage draws and high-altitude springs. In the northern reaches, small cattle tanks like Mann Tank and Brannon Tank suggest the ranching history of the area, while the presence of Johnson Cem and Divide Cem along the roads provides vital touchpoints for local family histories. The terrain is deeply inscribed with names like Pancake Draw and Thaeger Draw, feeding into a network of intermittent water sources including Hubble Spring and Suezzea Spring. The map documents the primitive road network used by locals and forest travelers, including Ed Jones Rd and Greens Gap Rd, which connect these remote mountain features and the many seasonal springs like Quaking Aspen Spring that dot the slopes.
