About this map

The Gila National Forest provides a preserved landscape of canyons and high plateaus in this Catron County survey. The terrain is defined by the convergence of major drainages, including the Middle Fork Gila River and the West Fork Gila River. These waterways have carved deep landmarks such as Packsaddle Canyon and Hells Hole Canyon, which flank the central heights of Lilley Mtn and Jackson Mesa.

Cultural landmarks are few but significant in this isolated mountain territory, most notably the Papineau Grave located near the head of Swinging Cross Canyon. The area contains numerous natural water sources critical for mountain travel, including Quentin Spring, Upper Marrs Spring, and Lilley Park Spring. The map documents a rugged interior accessible by a network of trails and forest roads, reaching into the high meadows of McKenna Park and the distinct peaks of the Jerky Mountains.
