2011 Map of Eagle Peak

About this map

Eagle Peak and Buzzard Peak anchor this high-altitude landscape in Catron County, where a complex network of canyons and drainage systems defines the topography. The region's reliance on water management is evident in the numerous namesake catchment structures, such as Wilson Canyon Tank, Long Canyon Tank, and Black Burro Tank, which support the high desert environment. These features, along with perennial points like Eagle Peak Spring and Deadman Spring, suggest a history of seasonal grazing and land use in this part of the Gila National Forest area.
