2020 Map of Eagle Peak

About this map

Eagle Peak and the high ridges of the Tularosa Mountains dominate this section of the Gila National Forest. The landscape is defined by a dense network of drainages and canyons, including Wilson Canyon, Kiehnes Canyon, and Salthouse Canyon, which reveal the complex topography of western Catron County. The reliance on seasonal water sources is evident through the numerous catchment features scattered throughout the terrain, such as Five Springs Tank and Eagle Peak Tank. Human activity is primarily represented by historical forest infrastructure, including State Rte 233 and FR 145, serving a region focused on conservation and land management. Further south, the terrain levels out at Perry Mesa before dropping into the rugged Jack Horse Canyon and the headwaters of N Fork Negrito Cr.
