About this map

Glenwood and Pleasanton anchor the eastern edge of this rugged southwestern landscape, where the San Francisco River cuts through the high desert of the Gila National Forest. The topography is defined by a dense network of drainages and named summits, including Sierra Aguilada, Park Mtn, and Brushy Mtn. The reliance on water management in this arid environment is evident through dozens of named livestock tanks such as Petmaker Tank, Bill Tank, and Horse Shoe Tank scattered across the uplands.

Cultural landmarks like the Glenwood Cem and Cat-Walk-Rd provide a glimpse into the local infrastructure and community history. The western portion of the map is dominated by remote terrain and canyons with evocative names like Booger Canyon, Heifers Delight Canyon, and Carcass Basin. These features, along with the high plateau of J Lazy H Mesa, illustrate the complex relationship between ranching interests and the steep wilderness of Catron County.
