2013 Map of Burnt Corral Canyon

About this map

Gila National Forest encompasses the entirety of this high-elevation terrain in Catron County, where deep drainages like Burnt Corral Canyon and Windfall Canyon define the landscape's movement. The map captures a complex network of artificial water sources essential for livestock and wildlife, including Mattice Tank, Shafi Tank, and the CCC Tank, which likely references the legacy of the Civilian Conservation Corps in this area. Higher ground is marked by prominent landmarks such as Jordan Mesa Point and N Mesa, while the southern reaches drop into Little Bear Canyon. The presence of Adobe Spring, Bobcat Spring, and House Spring indicates where natural groundwater reaches the surface among the arid draws. Near the eastern boundary, Montoya Pasture suggests a history of grazing management, supported by a density of named tanks and corrals like Trap Corral Canyon.
