2018 Map of Escudilla Mountain

About this map

Apache National Forest straddles the Arizona and New Mexico border, defined here by high-altitude terrain and numerous mountain springs. The landscape is anchored by the prominent peak of Escudilla Mtn and the adjacent Profanity Ridge, while the high plateau of Terry Flat and Skunk Flat reveal the region's volcanic and geological character. This 2018 survey detail provides a look at the water management and livestock infrastructure of the high country, where numerous tanks and springs like Skunk Flat Tank, Arizona Tank, and Gibbons Lake Tank are scattered across the timbered draws. The settlement of Troweek is situated near Romero Cr, serving as a point of reference in an area otherwise dominated by remote topographic features such as Hell Roaring Mesa and Turner Peak. Stone Creek Rd and various forest routes wind through the draws, connecting the scattered springs that support the high forest ecosystem.
