About this map

Burro Peak and the Big Burro Mountains dominate this high-desert landscape within the Gila National Forest. The topography is defined by the Continental Divide, which winds through a network of canyons and peaks including Ferguson Mtn and Jacks Peak. The map reveals a land managed for ranching and transit, evidenced by the C Bar Ranch and a naming convention for springs and tanks, such as Rustler Spring, Grapevine Spring, and Copeland Tank, that highlights the critical role of water in this arid environment.

Transportation through these Grant County canyons is marked by numerous trails and mountain roads. Significant routes like State Hwy 90 and Tyrone Rd provide access to the backcountry, while specifically named paths like Cattlemans Trl, Horseman Trl, and Rustlers Trl speak to the region's historic equestrian and livestock heritage. Canyons such as Walking X Canyon and Deadman Canyon offer a look into the local geography utilized by early settlers and ranchers.
