About this map

Charlie Moore Place and the cattle-rearing landmarks of the Arizona-New Mexico border define this high-altitude landscape. The map details a network of water management features essential for ranching, including Mesa Tank, Antelope Tank, and Sixshooter Flat Tank. These man-made catchments are interspersed with natural water sources like Little Blue Creek and Yam Spring. Corrals such as Bedrock Corral and Open Flat Corral indicate the working nature of the land, while Stateline Camp sits directly on the boundary between the two states.

Prominent terrain features like Horse Mountain and Bonehead Mesa dominate the relief, which is also marked by numerous access points for those traversing the backcountry. Several trailheads, including the Baseline Trailhead and Kellar Trailhead, provide entry to the area's canyons and mesas. The geography is further articulated by names such as Banjo Canyon and Mud Spring Mesa, reflecting a region where grazing and wilderness recreation intersect.
