About this map

Bloodgood Place stands as a focal point of human settlement within this 2013 survey of the Gila National Forest in New Mexico. The landscape is defined by the high-elevation waters of the Mimbres River, including its East and South forks, which carve through deep canyons. The Continental Divide traverses the terrain, separating drainage basins near Signboard Saddle and Terry Canyon.

Resource management and ranching history are evident in the numerous water catchments like Lincoln Tank, Hay Tank, and Thompson Tank Number Twenty, which dot the mesas. These features, along with names like Hay Mesa Corral and Kelly Mesa, suggest a continuing tradition of land use in this part of Grant County. The topography is exceptionally varied, ranging from the heights of Aspen Mtn to the narrow corridors of Hells Canyon and Dutchman Canyon.
