About this map

The Continental Divide traces a high-altitude path through this portion of the Black Range, where the geography is defined by a dense network of canyons and gulches. Located within the Gila National Forest, the terrain rises toward Lookout Mtn, which is topped by the Lookout Mountain Lookout. This 2013 survey shows a landscape where water sources like James Brothers Spring and Sawmill Cabin Spring are critical markers in an otherwise arid environment.

Evidence of human habitation and seasonal use is found at James Cabin and the South Fork Lodge. The drainage system is complex, with water flowing through Chloride Cr and N Fork Palomas Cr. Deep topographic features such as Doubtful Canyon and Hell Canyon suggest the challenging nature of the land, while the presence of Moccasin John Canyon points to local nomenclature tied to the area's early explorers or residents.
