About this map

McCauley Ranch and the high ridges of the Black Range characterize this 2013 topographic study of the Gila National Forest. The landscape is defined by its arid-land water management, featuring a dense network of catchments such as Shallow Tank, Upper Dry Tank, and Inman Cienega Tank used to support livestock and wildlife in a region marked by deep drainages like Alexander Canyon and Seventyfour Draw. The high points of Baily Points and the distinct volcanic profile of Round Mtn provide essential landmarks for navigation across the high desert terrain.

Evidence of ranching life and historical land use is preserved through labels for Miller Spring and Seventy-four Draw Well. Modern infrastructure is represented by Co Rd C053 and Co Rd C054, which thread through the canyons and mesas, including South Mesa and the drainage of Diamond Cr. The map captures a moment in the early 21st century where traditional land uses and natural water sources remain the primary features of this Sierra County landscape.
