About this map

Lilley Park serves as a key waypoint in this high-elevation reach of the Gila National Forest, where the complex drainage systems of the West Fork Gila River and Middle Fork Gila River converge. The landscape is defined by the sharp elevations of the Jerky Mountains and Lilley Mtn, characterized by numerous natural springs like Quentin Spring and Marrs Spring that support the local ecology.

A notable historical marker on this map is the Papineau Grave, located along the Trotter Trl near Swinging Cross Canyon. The presence of such an isolated landmark, alongside an extensive network of footpaths including the Chicken Coop Trl and Hells Hole Trl, reflects the area's legacy of wilderness travel and early settlement attempts. The varied topography, from the broad expanse of Jackson Mesa to the steep walls of Hells Hole Canyon, highlights the challenging terrain that has preserved this region's wilderness character.
