1997 Map of Blue

About this map

Marks Ranch and Campbell Flat anchor this high-elevation landscape along the Arizona-New Mexico state line in the late 1990s. The terrain is defined by the massive Tige Rim and the Blue Range, with the Blue River winding through the western canyons. This survey documents the protected wilderness of the Blue Primitive Area and the Blue Range Wilderness, showing an intricate network of drainage systems like Steeple Canyon and Lanphier Canyon. Local history and genealogy researchers can find family-named locations such as Jones Cemetery, as well as distinct landmarks like the Devils Monument rock formation. The map also records essential water sources for this arid environment, including Hinkle Springs, Franz Spring, and the high-altitude WS Lake near the summit of WS Mountain.
