About this map

Gila National Forest encompasses this high-altitude landscape in Grant County, where the topography is defined by dramatic elevation changes and a network of water-management features. The map details several family-named locations such as Chapman Place, Moore Place, Sid Place, and Estes Place, which indicate a history of land use and habitation in this corner of the Mogollon Mountains.

The presence of numerous tanks and springs, including Apache Creek Trick Tank, Dark Thunder Spring, and Red Kelly Tank, reflects the vital importance of water resources for cattle and wildlife. To the south, Crookson Peak and the Summit Mountains rise above canyons like Carlisle Canyon and Lemmons Canyon. Notable landmarks such as the Apache Box and Geronimo Draw point to the area's deep geological and cultural heritage, as the terrain transitions from peaks like Deer Peak to the broad Burtcher Flats.
