1947 Map of Allie Canyon

About this map

The Continental Divide winds through this 1947 survey of the high country north of Mimbres, following the crest between Sapillo Creek and the drainage of the Mimbres River. This landscape in the Gila National Forest is defined by a network of steep canyons and ridges, including the Pinos Altos Range to the southwest and Powderhorn Ridge to the east. Isolated ranching and administrative outposts serve as the primary human markers in this terrain.
