2023 Map of Grouse Mountain

About this map

The Mogollon Mountains dominate this high-elevation landscape within the Gila Wilderness of the Gila National Forest. This modern record of the terrain shows a vast network of drainages and peaks, centered on high points such as Whitewater Baldy and West Baldy. The map documents a primitive transportation system composed of forest roads and hiking trails that follow natural contours, such as the Crest Trl and Whitewater Trl. Numerous named saddles and parks, including Redstone Park and California Park, provide distinct navigational markers between the steep canyons of Winn Canyon and Packsaddle Canyon. Many springs, such as Hummingbird Spring and Black Mountain Spring, are identified across the quadrangle, highlighting the critical water sources in this high-country environment. The naming conventions, like Kings Crown and Queens Crown, reflect the local history and folklore of the New Mexico wilderness.
