About this map

Old Horse Springs and New Horse Springs serve as the primary landmarks in this high-altitude landscape within the Apache National Forest. The map documents a rugged water-dependent geography where scattered sources like White Rock Springs, Alumocito Spring, and Sanchez Spring determine the placement of human activity. The terrain is defined by dramatic shifts in elevation, from the heights of Horse Peak and Wagonque Mountain down through the deep cuts of Alumocito Canyon.

Evidence of ranching and remote infrastructure is prevalent, marked by several wells such as Davis Well and Armijo Well, alongside a lone Landing Strip and various livestock tanks. Significant land management boundaries are visible, including the section of the forest administered by the Gila National Forest, illustrating the complex administrative history of this portion of New Mexico's northern Mangas Mountains.
