About this map

Gila National Forest dominates this high-altitude landscape in western New Mexico, where the terrain is defined by a complex network of canyons and drainage draws. The prominent Indian Peaks rise in the western portion of the quadrangle, overlooking deep cuts such as Corduroy Canyon and Sawmill Canyon. Water management is central to the human footprint here, evidenced by the numerous tanks scattered across the topography, including Silver Dollar Tank, Springtime Tank, and Square Tank.

Remote infrastructure is highlighted by the Adobe Ranch Private Airport situated in the northeast, reflecting the vast distances and specialized transportation needs of this ranching and forest region. The map provides a detailed view of the forest service road network, including routes like 4052c and 4070e, which navigate through Adobe Canyon and Springtime Canyon. This 2017 survey captures a largely undeveloped wilderness where land management boundaries between T8S and T9S meet the natural contours of North Water Canyon and Corduroy Draw.
