About this map

Gila National Forest encompasses the rugged high-country terrain of Sierra County, where high peaks and deep drainage systems define the landscape. This 2013 survey shows a region largely preserved for its natural features, with the notable exception of high-desert infrastructure like Walnut Corral, Hilton Corral, and the South Seco Windmill. The topography is anchored by prominent elevations including Apache Peak, Indian Peak, and Flagpole Mtn.

Water sources are vital markers in this arid environment, represented by numerous tanks and springs such as Pague Tank, Round Mountain Tank, and Escondida Spring. The drainage network, featuring Las Animas Cr and Middle Seco Canyon, illustrates the complex erosion patterns across the mesas. Human presence is light but historically significant, evidenced by the L M Bar Ranch and designated areas like Chacon Park and Apache Camp, connected by routes like Forest Road 157.
