2017 Map of Circle Mesa

About this map

The Gila National Forest dominates this landscape, where the terrain transitions between the Big Burro Mountains and the Little Burro Mountains. This 2017 survey reveals a sophisticated network of drainage and transport through high-desert canyons, most notably along the Continental Divide National Scenic Trail as it traverses the southern half of the quadrangle. The elevation changes are marked by prominent features like Circle Mesa and Little Bear Mtn, while the seasonal water supply is evidenced by named improvements such as Dud Tank, Cane Spring, and Aqua Alta Tank.
