About this map

The Tularosa Mountains dominate this high-elevation landscape within the Gila National Forest, where a network of remote canyons and water tanks supports a wilderness environment. Significant peaks such as Eagle Peak and Buzzard Peak anchor the central terrain, surrounded by a complex system of drainage including Gabe Canyon, Kiehnes Canyon, and Salthouse Canyon.

Resource management for livestock and wildlife is evident through numerous named water catchments like Five Springs Tank and Negrito Tank. The southern portion of the sheet features the expansive Perry Mesa, overlooking Russ Canyon and Black Burro Canyon. This area is accessed by primitive routes like Forest Rd 94 and State Rte 233, reflecting the enduring character of this isolated section of Catron County. Natural water sources such as Eagle Peak Spring and Deadman Spring provide vital points of interest for those studying the hydrology and backcountry history of the region.
