2013 Map of Bluff Springs

About this map

Lincoln National Forest encompasses this high-elevation landscape, where a dense network of canyons and springs defines the local geography. The map reveals a reliance on water sources in this arid environment, naming numerous specific sites such as Masterson Spring, Hubbell Spring, and Delworth Spring. The drainage patterns of Rio Peñasco and Agua Chiquita Cr cut through named landforms like Benson Ridge and Prestridge Hill, illustrating the complex topography of the Sacramento Mountains. In the southern reaches, the settlement of Maxon and the Scott Able Camp provide evidence of human activity and seasonal habitation within the rugged forest boundaries. Transport is primarily limited to forest routes and the Cox Canyon Hwy in the northeast, highlighting the area's isolation and its primary use for ranching, forestry, and recreation.
