About this map

Cloudcroft sits high in the Sacramento Mountains, serving as a focal point for this survey of the Lincoln National Forest. The landscape is defined by a dense network of canyons, including James Canyon and Apache Canyon, which dictate the winding paths of US Hwy 82 and the Cox Canyon Hwy. A significant piece of regional engineering history is preserved at the Mexican Canyon Railroad Trestle Historic Site, a remnant of the mountain's timber and tourism era.

Local landmarks such as the Wofford Lookout Tower and Chippeway Park highlight the area's role in forest management and recreation. To the east, the small settlements of Wimsatt and Twin Forks appear along the highway corridor. For those researching local families, the Bass Cem is located near the junction of Eightmile Canyon and the Cox Canyon Hwy. The map also details numerous water sources essential for high-altitude survival, such as Slough Spring and Fite Spring.
