1999 Map of Cruzville
USGS Topo · Published 2002About this map
The Gila National Forest landscape near the close of the 20th century is defined by high-altitude ranching and the rugged watershed of the Tularosa River. The settlement at Cruzville serves as a primary point of interest, situated near a local Cem and the Quemado Ranger District lands. The topography is dominated by expansive flats and deep canyons, including Jon S Flat and Higgins Flat, which are punctuated by isolated water sources like Sawmill Well and Wild Olive Spring. These numerous named tanks and springs, such as Higgins Flat Tank No 2 and Jon S Tank, reveal the critical importance of water management for livestock in this arid environment. To the north, the confluence near Apache Creek and the presence of the Cross V Ranch further illustrate the region's enduring reliance on the land's natural drainage systems and historical grazing boundaries.
