2013 Map of Mangas Mountain

About this map

The Continental Divide traverses this high-altitude landscape in the Apache National Forest, defining a region shaped by ranching infrastructure and complex topography. Prominent family names are etched into the terrain through features like Patterson Canyon, Gabaldon Canyon, and Chavez Canyon, alongside essential water-management points such as the Padilla Windmill and Gabaldon Windmill. The map reveals a network of canyons and draws that feed into Mangas Cr, supporting a series of stock tanks and springs critical for land use in this arid environment. These include the Sleeping Steer Tank, Valle Tio Vinces Spring, and Sheep Camp Tank. The area is anchored by high points like Mangas Mtn and Tub Peak, while the small settlement or locality of Caballeriza sits near the junction of State Rte 93 and forest roads.
