About this map

Cibola National Forest boundaries encompass much of this high-altitude landscape in Catron County, where a network of dry washes and canyons defines the drainage patterns of the era. The topography is dominated by the intersecting paths of Log Canyon, Slash Canyon, and Sugarloaf Canyon, with the primary transit route provided by Greens Gap Road. Water access in this arid environment is limited to specific points such as Texas Spring and Oak Spring, along with ranching infrastructure like the Agua Fria Windmill and Henderson Two Section Well.

A small, unnamed Cem (cemetery) located near Greens Gap Draw provides a specific point of interest for genealogists and local historians, suggesting early settlement or ranching activity in the vicinity. The presence of several Jeep Trails branching off the main road indicates the rugged nature of the backcountry access used during the late 1960s and 1970s, as the area supported a mix of forest management and cattle operations.
