1947 Map of Allie Canyon

About this map

The Continental Divide winds through the high country of the Gila National Forest in this 1947 survey of Grant County. This remote landscape is defined by its dramatic drainage networks, with the Mimbres River cutting through the eastern valley and the West Fork Gila River appearing in the north. Settlement is sparse and tied to the water, centered around the Gos Ranch and the Mimbres Ranger Sta. The map provides specific points of interest for genealogists and local historians, including the Hicks Cem located near the river and several remote windmills used for livestock in the high basins. Transportation at this time was limited to improved and unimproved dirt tracks, most notably McKnight Road, which climbs toward the ridges of the Pinos Altos Range.
