About this map

Indian Ruins and the high peaks of the Pinos Altos Range dominate this mid-century survey of southwestern New Mexico. The landscape is defined by the deep carving of the Gila River and its numerous tributaries, including Hells Canyon and Utah Bill Canyon. The presence of Rastas Place and various unnamed mines, marked simply as Mine or Prospect, indicates small-scale human activity within the vast Gila National Forest. This era of the Gila Wilderness is captured before modern recreational expansion, showing primitive transportation routes like the Watson Can Jeep Trail and various unnamed pack trails. High-altitude water sources such as Goose Lake, The Dry Lakes, and Slick Rock Springs provided essential points for travelers and livestock across the Packsaddle Ridge.
