2021 Map of Maness Peak

About this map

Apache National Forest straddles the high-altitude border of Arizona and New Mexico, where the Blue River carves a deep path through the San Francisco Mountains. This 2021 survey reveals a landscape of remote peaks and canyons, centered around Maness Peak and Milligan Peak. Evidence of local history and backcountry movement is preserved through named features like Whispering Pines and the Blue Cem, which sits near the river's edge. The rugged geography is defined by numerous drainages, including Swafford Canyon and School House Canyon, alongside established paths such as the Mother Hubbard Trl and the Frieborn Access Trl. Smaller water sources like Schoolhouse Spring and Jack Spring provide critical landmarks in a region dominated by high mesas and isolated flats like Bobcat Flat.
