2023 Map of Firman Canyon

USGS Topo · Published 2023

About this map

The Sacramento Mountains define the high-elevation geography of this portion of the Lincoln National Forest, where a network of seasonal water sources and canyons supported early ranching and forestry efforts. Deep drainages like Firman Canyon and Peso Canyon cut through the terrain, leading toward the Tularosa Creek valley. Numerous water points, including Head Springs, Peso Spring, and Turkey Run Spring, were vital landmarks in this arid environment. The map shows a transition from the lower canyon floors to high ridges accessed by historic routes such as South Fork Tularosa Canyon and the Zinker Cyn Trl. Silver Lake and Silver Springs Creek in the southeast corner illustrate the concentrated water resources that influenced movement through the mountains during this era.
