2017 Map of Apache Peak

About this map

Apache Peak and the high ridges of the Gila National Forest dominate this high-desert landscape in Sierra County. The terrain is defined by a dense network of drainages and canyons, most notably Middle Seco Canyon, Conley Canyon, and Big Rocky Canyon, which cut through the uplift toward the Las Animas Creek basin. The map reveals a land managed for both conservation and livestock, where named water sources like Maverick Spring, Turkey Spring, and Bald Hill Spring were critical infrastructure for the region's ranching history.
