2023 Map of Iron Mountain

About this map

Grafton sits along the western edge of this territory, where the foothills meet the Gila National Forest. The landscape is defined by the complex convergence of three counties—Catron, Socorro, and Sierra—marked by high-altitude features like Iron Mtn, Little Red Hill, and Reilly Peak. A dense network of drainages including Poverty Creek, Turkey Creek, and Bear Creek carves through the terrain, illustrating the hydrologic character of this remote mountain region. These watercourses are flanked by secondary routes such as Buster Creek Rd and Escondrio Rd, which provide access through the deep canyons and draws. The presence of Piñon Spring and several tanks like C C Tank highlights the vital importance of water management for any activity in this arid high-country environment.
