About this map

Cloudcroft and its surrounding canyons are presented here during the early 21st century, revealing a landscape defined by its transition from industrial timber roots to a recreation-based economy. The Mexican Canyon Railroad Trestle Historic Site serves as a prominent landmark of the region's rail history, while the modern presence of the Ski Cloudcroft Ski Area and numerous campgrounds like Black Bear Campground and Aspen Campground highlight its contemporary role as a mountain retreat.

Dense networks of forest roads and trails, such as Ponderosa Pines Trl N and Russia Canyon Rd, navigate the complex terrain of Bradford Canyon and Russia Canyon. Genealogists and local historians will find value in the location of the Bass Cemetery near Jones Canyon and the smaller settlement of Wimsatt to the east, illustrating the enduring footprint of residents in these high-elevation communities.
