2005 Map of Luna Lake

About this map

The settlement of Alpine serves as the focal point for this high-country landscape, positioned near the headwaters of the San Francisco River and surrounded by the Apache National Forest. This 2005 revision highlights the local recreation and infrastructure supporting the community, including the Alpine Country Club, a Mobile Home Park, and the Luna Lake Group campground. To the north, the slopes of Escudilla Mountain overlook a complex network of springs and tanks like Skousen Spring and Terry Tank Spg, essential for ranching and wildlife in this semi-arid terrain. The border with New Mexico and the transition to the Gila National Forest create a distinct administrative landscape where forest roads like 271 and 2310 connect isolated landmarks such as the Double J Ranch and Tenney Pond. Water management remains a primary theme throughout, evidenced by the Lower Cienega Reservoir and numerous named ciénegas.
