Gila National Forest encompasses the eastern half of this landscape, characterized by a complex network of canyons and peaks that define the high desert of Grant County. The terrain is marked by significant topographical landmarks such as Wilson Mtn, Brushy Mtn, and Elephant Back Mtn. A crucial series of water sources, including Wilson Spring, Hatch Spring, and several tanks like Turner Tank, suggest a land managed for cattle and wildlife. In the south, the Gila River cuts through the Gila Middle Box, a distinctive canyon passage. This survey reveals the drainage patterns of Ash Cr and Slate Cr as they weave between summits like Nolen Peak and Tampico Peak, providing a clear record of the watershed and range improvements in this part of the Southwest.
