About this map

Glenwood and Pleasanton serve as the primary gateways to the high-elevation terrain of the Gila National Forest in this 2017 survey of Catron County. The landscape is defined by the steep drainage of Whitewater Cr, where the famous Cat Walk Rd leads into deep canyons like Deer Park Canyon. Aviation infrastructure is notably present with the Whitewater Mesa Ranch Airport and the Glenwood-Catron County Airport situated on the relatively flat expanse of White Water Mesa.

Resource management for livestock and wildlife is evident through the dense network of water features, including Silted Up Tank, Muddy Tank, and Goodard Tank. These improved water sources support life across the dry slopes of Holt Mountain and Sheridan Mtn. The map also captures several family-named landmarks and historical routes, such as Bursum Rd and State Hwy 174, which traverse the complex topography of Cardinal Gap and Skeleton Ridge.
