2017 Map of Maverick Mountain

About this map

Gila National Forest encompasses the center of this terrain, dominated by the peaks of the Black Range and the distinctive profile of Maverick Mountain. The map reveals a high-altitude landscape where water management is critical for survival and land use, evidenced by a network of isolated water sources such as Upton Cabin Well, Hot Springs Well, and Twin Calf Tank. These features, along with the numerous named canyons like Silver Creek Canyon and Gold Pan Canyon, suggest a history of prospecting and ranching that shaped the region’s development. The presence of Royal John Mine Rd and Silver Creek Rd provides a look at the remote access routes into these rugged reaches of Grant Co, while landmarks like Sawyers Peak and Noonday Peak serve as prominent navigational anchors for those traversing the mountain passes.
