2013 Map of Holt Mountain

About this map

Glenwood and Pleasanton serve as the primary human outposts along the western edge of this 2013 survey of the Gila National Forest. The landscape is defined by the dramatic ascent from Whitewater Mesa into the high country of the Mogollon Mountains, where features like Skeleton Ridge and Angels Roost tower over deep drainages. Water management is a central theme of the topographic record, evidenced by the numerous named tanks and springs, such as Hunter Water Tank, Deer Park Spring, and Middle Tank, which support cattle and wildlife in this arid environment. Transportation through the canyons is marked by Bursum Rd and the notable Cat Walk Rd, while aviation is represented by the Glenwood-Catron County Airport and the Whitewater Mesa Ranch Airport. The map also traces the complex hydrology of Whitewater Cr and its various forks, cutting through landmarks like Nabours Mtn and Wilcox Peak.
