2017 Map of Kingston

About this map

Kingston serves as the primary settlement on this landscape, its residential grid centered on Main St and Ladron Gulch. The area is defined by the high elevations of the Mimbres Mountains and the sprawling expanse of the Gila National Forest, where steep canyons and seasonal water sources dictate the layout of human activity. The drainage of Middle Percha Cr and S Percha Cr cuts through the terrain, creating deep topographic features like Southwest Canyon and Drummond Canyon. Local infrastructure revolves around land management and water access, evidenced by numerous tanks such as Starvation Tank and Boundary Tank scattered among the peaks of Sherman Mtn and Star Peak. This 2017 edition preserves the footprint of a mountain community where the rugged western geography of Sierra County meets forestry and ranching history.
