2020 Map of Dorsey Ranch

About this map

Dorsey Ranch serves as a central landmark in this portion of Grant County, situated amidst the high mesas and deep drainages of the Gila National Forest. The landscape is defined by its water sources, from Lee Spring and Dorsey Hole Spring in the north to man-made cattle tanks like Medina Tank and Mikes Tank. The topography reveals a complex network of canyons including Seep Springs Canyon, Steamboat Canyon, and Shelby Clark Canyon, which cut through prominent plateaus such as Slick Rock Mesa and Reading Mesa. A web of forest and ranch roads, including Windmill Canyon Rd and Old Telegraph Ridge Rd, connects these isolated geographical features, illustrating the enduring relationship between livestock ranching and the managed wilderness of the Gila.
