2017 Map of Glenwood

About this map

Glenwood and Pleasanton serve as the primary human outposts along the San Francisco River in this rugged section of the Gila National Forest. The landscape is defined by a dense network of drainages and canyons, many bearing evocative local names such as Booger Canyon, Heifers Delight Canyon, and Petmaker Canyon. These features, along with landmarks like Sierra Aguilada and Come-alive Ridge, trace a complex topography of ridges and basins. Water management for ranching and forest use is evident through the dozens of named tanks scattered across the terrain, including Jerry Tank, Old Tank, and Bull Grass Tank. Transportation into the deeper forest reaches is facilitated by routes like Cat Walk Rd and Bursum Rd, while the Glenwood Cem provides a tangible link to the area's generational history and early settlement patterns.
