About this map

Apache National Forest dominates this high-altitude landscape along the border of Apache County, Arizona, and Catron County, New Mexico. The terrain is characterized by a network of seasonal water sources and topographic landmarks like Loco Knoll and the surrounding Loco Knolls. The map reveals an intricate system of cattle tanks and springs essential for land management in this arid environment, including Loco Twentynine Knoll Tank, Thomas Spring, and Canovas Spring.

A notable geographic feature is the Escudilla Bonita meadow area in the northeast, where Coyote Cr begins its descent. The presence of the H-V Reservoir and several named tanks such as Towser Tank and Cinder Tank indicates the vital importance of water infrastructure for the regional ranching economy within the forest boundaries. This survey documents the modern state of these resources and the primitive road networks like Cat-b024 that provide access to this isolated interstate frontier.
