About this map

Centerfire Bog sits at the heart of this high-elevation landscape in Catron County, where water resources define the human and natural geography of the mid-1960s. The map illustrates a high-desert range infrastructure within the Apache National Forest and Gila National Forest, marked by an extensive system of named stock tanks and wells. These include Honey Bee Well, Antelope Well, and Miner Well, alongside numerous tanks like East Camp Tank and Freeman Tank No 2.

Natural springs such as Rita Blanca Spring, Todd Browning Spring, and Cienega Spring suggest long-standing points of interest for local ranchers and land managers. The terrain is deeply incised by drainages like Centerfire Creek and Upper Cottonwood Canyon, while Freeman Mountain stands as a prominent topographical landmark. A network of jeep trails provides the primary means of navigating the transition between the Spur Lake Basin and the surrounding canyon country.
