2013 Map of Canyon Creek Mountains
USGS Topo · Published 2013About this map
The Gila National Forest landscape across the Canyon Creek Mountains is defined by a high-elevation network of drainage canyons and artificial catchments essential for managing the arid environment. The terrain rises to notable peaks such as Elk Mountains and East Elk Mtn, while the southern reaches level out into Cooney Prairie and the flat-topped Stovepipe Mesa. A sophisticated system of water management is evident in the numerous named tanks, including the Cooney Tank Number 1 series, Prospector Tank, and University Tank, which suggest the historic and ongoing importance of livestock or wildlife management in this rugged section of Catron County. Access through the forest is maintained by the winding Loco Mountain Rd and Co RD 23, providing a lifeline through deep cuts like Turkey Spring Canyon and Ten Cow Canyon.
