About this map

Papineau Grave rests on a high ridge in this remote corner of the Gila National Forest, a rare human landmark in a landscape defined by dramatic canyons and mountain peaks. The map details the confluence and divergent paths of the Middle Fork and West Fork Gila Rivers as they carve through the Gila Wilderness. High-altitude springs like Quentin Spring and Lilley Park Spring provide critical water sources for those traversing the heights of Lilley Mountain and the Jerky Mountains.

The southern portion of the survey identifies the White Creek Administrative Site along White Creek, a primary hub for forest management and trail access. An extensive network of primitive paths, including the Woodland Park Trail and Trotter Trail, connects the mesas to the deep incisions of Hells Hole Canyon and No Name Canyon, reflecting the area's history as a protected backcountry since the mid-20th century.
