2018 Map of Blue

About this map

The Blue River corridor in eastern Arizona serves as the central artery for this high-elevation landscape within the Apache National Forest. Located along the boundary between Greenlee County, Arizona and Catron County, New Mexico, the region is defined by deep canyons and prominent overlooks. Small settlements like Blue and Blue Vista are connected by a network of forest roads and trails, including Pueblo Park Rd and the Tige Canyon Trail. Local family history is centered near Jones Cem, while the geography is punctuated by significant landmarks such as Devil's Monument and Whiterock Mtn. Significant water sources like Stateline Tank and Bear Valley Cabin Spring indicate the essential water management required in this remote terrain, where canyon systems like Lanphier Canyon and Dam Canyon carve through the high plateaus.
