2023 Map of Fort Wingate
USGS Topo · Published 2023About this map
Fort Wingate serves as the focal point of this McKinley County landscape, situated where the high desert plateau meets the northern reaches of the Cibola National Forest. The map documents a complex system of water management and natural hydrology, featuring numerous named sources such as Santa Fe Spring, Milk Ranch Spring, and the prominent Fort Wingate Spring. These water features, alongside Lake McFerren and McGaffey Lake, indicate the vital role of moisture in this arid environment. The terrain is defined by dramatic geological formations, including The Hogback and the steep descents of Milk Ranch Canyon and Sixmile Canyon. A dense network of modern recreational and access routes, such as Painted Horse Trl and Smokin Handlebar Trl, weaves through the forest, while drainage patterns like Bread Springs Wash and Whitewater Arroyo illustrate the natural runoff channels of the high country.
