About this map

Gila National Forest encompasses the entirety of this landscape, where the East Fork Mimbres River cuts through the northern reach of this high-elevation terrain. The map reveals a complex system of water management essential for ranching and forestry, evidenced by the numerous named stock tanks like Dutchman Tank, Lake Superior Tank, and Kelly Ridge Tank that dot the mesas. These water sources, alongside numerous springs such as Trap Spring and Rabb Spring, supported the early cattle operations of the region.

Prominent landforms such as Hendricks Peak, Mud Springs Mtn, and the broad expanse of Kelly Mesa define the local topography. Transportation across these canyons is limited to forest service routes and historic trails, including Powder Horn Ridge Rd and the Rocking Spear Ranch Rd. The presence of Rabb Park and multiple named canyons like Dutchman Canyon and Rosencran Canyon highlights the area's geography as it was recorded in the early 21st century.
