About this map

The Tularosa Mountains dominate this high-altitude landscape within the Gila National Forest, centered on the prominent elevation of Eagle Peak. This 1999 revision captures a network of resource management and topographical detail, defined by an intricate system of drainages including Piney Park Canyon, Kiehne Canyon, and Salthouse Canyon. The terrain is marked by essential water sources for ranching or forest service use, such as Five Springs Tank, Eagle Peak Spring, and Deadman Spring near North Fork Negrito Creek.

A notable characteristic of this survey is the presence of numerous Protracted Blocks, such as PB 51 and PB 38, which indicate unsurveyed lands of uncertain acreage common in these remote mountain ranges. These blocks, alongside landmarks like Buzzard Peak and the Perry Canyon area, illustrate the complex land status and natural geography of Catron County's backcountry at the close of the twentieth century.
