2023 Map of Burnt Corral Canyon

About this map

Gila Wilderness and Gila National Forest protect this arid high-desert landscape in southwestern New Mexico. The terrain is defined by a series of deep drainages such as Burnt Corral Canyon, Tommy Hill Canyon, and Jordan Canyon, which carve through the volcanic geology of North Mesa and the prominent Whiterocks. Water management for livestock or wildlife is the primary evidence of human activity, represented by an extensive network of named tanks and springs, including Preacher Tank, Snafi Tank, and Horse Trap Spring.
