About this map

Whispering Pines and the rugged canyons of the Apache National Forest define this high-altitude landscape along the Arizona-New Mexico border. The map documents a complex network of hydrological features essential for life in the San Francisco Mountains, ranging from Milligan Lake to numerous named seeps such as Schoolhouse Spring, Mexican Spring, and Holbrook Spring. The Blue River carves through the terrain, flanked by dramatic vertical relief including Maness Mountain and Noland Mountain.

This area, where the boundaries of Greenlee and Catron Counties meet, preserves traces of early mountain life through landmarks like the Blue Cemetery and School House Canyon. Cattle-raising history is evident in the scattered tanks such as Stateline Tank Number 2 and Bentonite Tank. The presence of Saddle Mtn Rd and Forest Rd 281 shows the primary corridors used for forest management and local access in this deeply dissected country.
