About this map

Cibola National Forest encompasses the majority of this landscape, where the high peaks of the Datil Mountains and Crosby Mountains meet. The terrain is defined by a series of deep drainages including Slaughter Canyon, White House Canyon, and Swingle Canyon. Water sources are critical landmarks in this arid environment, evidenced by numerous named points such as Crosby Springs, White House Spring, and Slaughter Spring.

The small settlement of Homestead sits on the eastern edge of the quadrangle, connected by a network of local roads like Pioneer Dr and Log Cabin Dr. Higher elevations are marked by prominent summits including East Sugarloaf Mtn and Anderson Mtn. This modern survey illustrates the continued importance of livestock management and water access in the high desert, with features like Deep Tank and Government Tank distributed throughout the mountain draws.
