About this map

Gila National Forest encompasses the majority of this high-elevation terrain, where deep drainage canyons like Deloche Canyon and Shelton Canyon carve through a landscape of prominent peaks and ridges. High points such as Holt Mtn and Wilcox Peak overlook a network of seasonal springs and cattle tanks, including Whitetail Spring, Midnight Spring, and the CCC Tank. This system of water sources supported the ranching and timber activities central to this corner of Catron County.

Logistics and infrastructure are concentrated in the west along State Hwy 174 and the Glenwood Airport. Higher in the backcountry, the Holt-Apache Trail and routes near Johnsons Cabin provide evidence of historical access into the wilderness. Landmarks like Tennessee Meadow and Angels Roost indicate a topography used for both grazing and observation, while the namesake Whitewater Cr and its forks define the primary watershed of the quadrangle.
