1999 Map of Collins Parks

USGS Topo · Published 2002

About this map

The Continental Divide crests through this high-altitude landscape of the Gila National Forest, dictating the flow of water across a series of deep canyons and peaks. During the late twentieth century, the area served primarily as a pastoral and recreation zone, evidenced by the numerous water improvements like Collins Park Tank and Collins Park Well that supported livestock in this arid environment. The Continental Divide National Scenic Trail traverses the ridges, crossing through the Tularosa Mountains and passing notable landmarks such as Piñon Knob. Below the heights, the Bursum Road provides the primary transit through the region, following the drainage of the North Fork Negrito Creek. The map documents a rugged network of specialized tanks and springs, including Dutchman Spring and Ghost Lake, which were essential for ranching and forest management in this corner of New Mexico.
