2005 Map of Big Lue Mountains

USGS Topo · Published 2006

About this map

The Big Lue Mountains dominate the high-elevation landscape along the border of Arizona and New Mexico, where the Apache National Forest meets the Gila National Forest. This remote interior territory is defined by its seasonal water sources and livestock infrastructure, anchored by the Big Lue Ranch and a network of named springs including Mexican Spring, Bee Tree Spring, and Upper Hells Hole Spring. Significant geological and prospector interest is evidenced by the Black Jack Group and various mining sites such as the Prospect and Quarry. The terrain is deeply incised by drainages like Sixshooter Canyon and Sawmill Canyon, while prominent summits like Palace Peak and McMullan Peak provide landmark navigation points across the forest land.
