2014 Map of Escudilla Mountain

About this map

Escudilla Mountain dominates the high-elevation landscape of the Apache National Forest in this survey along the Arizona-New Mexico state line. The terrain is defined by a series of named flats and draws, including Steele Flat, Terry Flat, and Toolbox Draw, which reflect a history of timber and grazing activities. The small settlement of Troweek sits centrally, surrounded by an intricate network of water improvements such as Gibbons Lake Tank, Bar C Lake, and Skunk Flat Tank. These features, alongside numerous springs like Sawmill Spring and Parson Spring, underscore the critical importance of water management in these upland forests. Roads such as Stone Creek Rd and Jenkins Creek Rd provide the primary access through the ridges and mesas, including the provocatively named Profanity Ridge and the prominent Hell Roaring Mesa.
