About this map

The Sawtooth Mountains and Datil Mountains converge in this high-altitude landscape of western New Mexico, where deep drainages like White Canyon and Davenport Canyon carve through the Cibola National Forest. This terrain is defined by its water management and livestock history, marked by essential features such as the Double Circle Ranch and several specialized windmills and tanks like Dike Windmill and Sawtooth Tank.

Remote outposts such as Webster Cabin and the Davenport Lookout are connected by a simple network of trails and a notable telephone line that skirts the New Mexico Base Line. From the prominent peak of Madre Mountain to the distinct silhouette of Monument Rock, the map documents a working landscape of ranching and forestry at the end of the 20th century, including modern infrastructure like a Microwave Tower and the Driveway Windmill Corral.
