The settlement of Aragon occupies a high valley where the Tularosa River flows between the southern boundary of the Apache National Forest and the northern reaches of the Gila National Forest. This 1960s landscape is defined by its critical water sources, from the Santonino Sch near the river to an extensive network of named springs and tanks like Malpais Spring and Negrilo Springs scattered throughout the rugged forest terrain. The map details the transition from the flat expanses of the Sand Flats to the elevations of Apache Mountain and Tularosa Mountain. A single Prospect and a Gaging Sta reflect the light human imprint on this high-country environment, while a web of Jeep Trails and Pack Trails provide the primary means of navigating the canyons and draws.
