About this map

The Gila National Forest dominates this high-altitude landscape, where the Continental Divide winds through the southwestern corner. The map documents a rugged network of drainage systems and isolated peaks, including Aspen Mtn and Spring Mtn. Water sources are vital markers in this arid environment, represented by numerous tanks and springs such as Alligator Tank, Meason Tank, and Spring Mountain Spring.

Evidence of ranching and land use is found in family-named topographical features like Tom Moore Canyon, Me Own Hill, and Rastus Flats. The southern portion of the quadrangle shows the beginning of the Mimbres River, while the Continental Divide National Scenic Trail offers a traversable route through the timbered terrain. Notable geographic formations like the Black Canyon Box and Bonner Canyon illustrate the deep erosion patterns characteristic of this part of the Grant and Sierra county line.
