1995 Map of Blue Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1998

About this map

The San Mateo Mountains dominate this high-altitude landscape within the Cibola National Forest, a terrain of steep canyons and isolated peaks. This mid-1990s survey preserves the legend of the Apache Kid Wilderness, explicitly marking the Apache Kid Grave Site near the Apache Kid Peak. The geography is defined by a series of dramatic drainages including Red Canyon and San Mateo Canyon, separated by prominent ridges such as Skeleton Ridge and Bull Saddle. Water sources are critical but scattered, documented here through numerous remote springs like Hardscrabble Spring, Old Hidden Spring, and Indian Spring. The map traces a complex network of pack trails and fire breaks, including the long Wilderness Boundary and the Drift Fence Canyon road, reflecting the area's management for conservation and its storied history of outlaws and early western lore.
