1948 Map of Allie Canyon

About this map

The Continental Divide winds through the heart of this terrain, marking the high-altitude boundary between major drainage basins in the Gila National Forest. This section of the Pinos Altos Range is defined by a network of steep canyons and watercourses, most notably the Mimbres River which flows along the eastern edge of the survey. The landscape supports high-country ranching and forestry operations, anchored by the GOS Ranch near the northern boundary and the Mimbres Ranger Sta situated along the river valley. Genealogists and local historians will find the Hicks Cem located near the river, while the presence of named landmarks like Gattons Park and Sapillo Creek illustrates the mid-century spatial organization of this remote mountain region.
