2013 Map of Eagle Peak

About this map

Eagle Peak rises as the central landmark in this high-altitude section of the Gila National Forest, situated within the Tularosa Mountains. This 2013 survey illustrates a landscape defined by an extensive system of canyons and water management features essential for land use in this arid region. High-country drainage is captured through a network of named stock tanks, including Trial Tank, Trujillo Tank, and the notably named Miner Tank. The map reveals the orientation of these drainages, from the northern Five Springs Canyon to the southern reaches of Russ Canyon. To the south, the flat expanse of Perry Mesa provides a stark contrast to the surrounding ridges and peaks. Connectivity across the forest is maintained by State Rte 233 and Forest Rd 94, while isolated water sources like Eagle Spring and Deadman Spring mark historical points of interest for navigation through the mountainous terrain.
