About this map

The Continental Divide winds through this section of the Gila National Forest, a landscape defined by the intersection of the Pinos Altos Range and the Mimbres River drainage. This high-elevation terrain is marked by a complex network of canyons and historical transport routes, including the Woodhaul Wagon Rd Trl and the Allie Canyon Trl. Settled areas are sparse, represented by Gattons Park in the north and the isolated Hicks Cem near the eastern boundary.

Water management is the primary evidence of human activity in this arid environment, with dozens of named springs and livestock tanks such as Telephone Tank, Slash Tank, and Elk Pasture Tank distributed across the canyon floors and ridges. Historical industry is hinted at by the presence of Mine Rd near the Bear Canyon Trl. The map provides a detailed view of the drainage patterns from Jackass Canyon and Shingle Canyon as they contribute to the regional watershed system.
