2023 Map of Bearwallow Mountain

About this map

The Mogollon Mountains dominate this high-elevation landscape within the Gila National Forest, where steep canyons and volcanic peaks define the terrain. Notable features like Bearwallow Mtn and Cooney Peak are connected by a network of forest service routes, including the Bearwallow Lookout Rd. The area is characterized by its complex drainage systems, with Mineral Creek and Bearwallow Creek carving through the mountains. Small wetlands and livestock water sources, such as Turkey Cienega, Bill Lewis Cienega, and Hogwallow Pit Tank, are scattered throughout the region, reflecting the land's utility for seasonal grazing. This survey provides a contemporary view of the Gila Wilderness boundary, showing the enduring primitive nature of the terrain through named landmarks like Savage Canyon and Gooseberry Canyon.
