About this map

Aspen Mountain and the surrounding high country of Catron County define this portion of the Apache National Forest and Gila National Forest. The landscape is a network of named drainages and basins, including Colyer Canyon, S U Canyon, and the Heifer Basin. Water sources, critical for both wildlife and land management in this environment, are meticulously mapped, featuring Dave Lee Lake, Bull Basin Spring, and several tanks such as Belt Park Tank and Rim Tank.

Tracing the geography reveals local landmarks like Leggett Peak and Joe Green Peak, along with the cattle-associated naming conventions of the region like Dry Leggett Canyon. The presence of Black Bull Peak and the Black Bull Saddle suggests a history tied to the open range. Forest Service roads like Flying T Spring and Aspen Mountain provide the primary access through the San Francisco Mountains.
