About this map

Old Horse Springs sits at the heart of this high-elevation landscape, where the high desert meets the wooded slopes of the Apache National Forest. The map detail captures a complex network of canyons and peaks, including the prominent Horse Mtn and Wagontongue Mtn, which define the local drainage patterns. Water sources are critical in this arid terrain, marked by scattered improvements like Jack Tank and Rock Tank, alongside natural features like Simon Lake and Alamocito Spring.

Tracing the path of Pie Town Rd provides insight into the historic transit corridors of western Catron County. The topography is deeply carved by the North Fork Alamocito Canyon and its many branches, illustrating the rugged character of the land before it descends into the broader plains. This record is particularly valuable for identifying isolated springs and landmarks like Horse Peak and Jack Peak that have served as waypoints for generations.
