About this map

The Mogollon Mountains dominate this high-altitude landscape within the Gila National Forest. Reaching peaks like Cooney Peak and Bearwallow Mtn, the terrain is defined by deep drainages such as Whitetail Canyon, Savage Canyon, and Gooseberry Canyon. This map captures a complex network of forest resources, where water management is critical to land use, evidenced by named features like Ball Pasture Tank, Hogwallow Pit Tank, and the Bill Lewis Tank.

Historical transportation routes and access points are meticulously detailed, including the rugged B.S. Trail and the Bearwallow Lookout Rd. For researchers, the presence of Turkey Cienega and Bill Lewis Cienega indicates specific marshy alpine meadows that have long served as vital landmarks and ecological hubs. The survey also tracks several forks of Mineral Cr and Deep Creek, illustrating the drainage patterns that carved the surrounding canyons and peaks.
