About this map

The Gila National Forest encompasses this high-elevation landscape, where the Mogollon Mountains and the Diablo Range meet. This terrain is defined by a complex network of deep drainages, including Turkey Creek and Little Creek, which cut through the high country. Historical activity in the area is traced through namesake landmarks like White Pinnacle and Granite Peak, while local water sources such as Horse Spring and McKenna Spring provided essential stopovers in the arid environment.

Deep canyons such as Sycamore Canyon and Woodrow Canyon dominate the western portion of the sheet, illustrating the erosion patterns of the Catron and Grant County borderlands. The presence of McKenna Park and various water tanks, including Dry Lake Tank, suggests a history of livestock management and seasonal range use within the forest boundaries. This map offers a clear look at the topographic obstacles that shaped early travel and land use in this part of southwestern New Mexico.
