About this map

Luna Lake and the upper reaches of the San Francisco River anchor this high-altitude landscape along the Arizona-New Mexico border. Situated within the Apache National Forest, the terrain is defined by dramatic elevation shifts, ranging from the heights of Escudilla Mountain in the northwest to the deep incisions of Mother Hubbard Canyon and Box Canyon in the south. The abundance of named water sources, such as Stanford Spring, Carmen Spring Number One, and Tenney Meadow Spring, points to the critical importance of riparian zones in this arid upland environment.

Transportation is centered on Us HWY 180, which connects the high-country meadows of Long Cienega with the surrounding basins. Landforms like Indian Peak, Juniper Bench, and White Bluff serve as prominent landmarks for those navigating the forest. The map also delineates the administrative intersection of Apache, Greenlee, and Catron counties, reflecting the complex jurisdictional boundaries of the Four Corners region.
