1958 Map of Hannagan Meadow

About this map

Mogollon Rim anchors this high-elevation survey of the Apache National Forest, where steep canyons and high points define the landscape of eastern Arizona. The Coronado Trail winds through the eastern half of the sheet, providing access to remote outposts like Sprucedale and seasonal sites such as the Hannagan Meadow Campground. This era represents a period of active fire surveillance and forest management, evidenced by Reno Lookout and Blue Lookout standing watch over the drainages of the Black River. Numerous wetlands known as cienegas, including KP Cienega and Butterfly Cienega, suggest a complex hydrology where high-country meadows collected snowmelt and spring water for the surrounding livestock and wildlife. Foot and horse travel are well-documented through the Hannagan Trail and Warren Trail, connecting various backcountry draws and peaks.
