2023 Map of Canyon Hill

About this map

The Gila River winds through the heart of this landscape in the Gila Wilderness, part of the larger Gila National Forest in Grant County. This terrain is defined by a dense network of drainages and high points, such as Canyon Hill and the Pinos Altos Range. Notable landmarks for navigation and land use include the Slick Rock Mesa in the south and the Hidden Pasture to the north, which sits high above Hidden Pasture Canyon. The map reveals the intricate natural topography of southwestern New Mexico, from the seasonal basins of The Dry Lakes to the rugged descent of Hells Canyon. Access is limited to primitive routes like the Gila River Trl and Turkey Creek Rd, reflecting the preserved and roadless character of the wilderness area at the time of this survey.
