1999 Map of Indian Peaks West

USGS Topo · Published 2002

About this map

The Gila National Forest landscape across Catron County is defined by a dense network of high-elevation drainages and critical water infrastructure. In this 1999 revision of 1960s topography, the map reveals a rugged ranching and conservation environment where life revolves around named catchments and springs. Notable water sources such as Homestead Tank, Bear Springs, and Cottonwood Spring are vital markers in a terrain carved by deep valleys like Railroad Canyon, Whiskey Canyon, and Last Chance Canyon. The high points of the Indian Peaks dominate the northeastern portion of the sheet, while specific livestock and survey landmarks like the Garcia Windmill, Mule Canyon Well, and Railroad Canyon Windmill provide precise points for historical research and navigation. The distribution of these tanks and wells among the canyons illustrates the essential relationship between the arid high-country terrain and the management of water resources within the forest boundaries.
