2017 Map of Allie Canyon

About this map

The Continental Divide winds through this high-elevation terrain within the Gila National Forest, defining a landscape of deep canyons and seasonal water sources. The eastern edge of the map follows the course of the Mimbres River and the Bear Canyon Reservoir, where the Hicks Cem stands as a point of interest for local genealogy. This 2017 survey reveals an intricate network of drainage systems, including Allie Canyon, Deadman Canyon, and Jackass Canyon, which descend from the Pinos Altos Range. Resource management in this arid environment is evidenced by numerous named tanks and springs, such as Elk Pasture Tank, Gooseman Tank, and First Water Spring. These features, along with forestry roads like Ponderosa Dr and N Star Rd, trace the modern usage of these public lands for ranching and recreation in Grant County.
