2013 Map of Mayhill

About this map

The Mayhill Post Office and the small settlement of Mayhill anchor this high-elevation landscape within the Lincoln National Forest. Located where James Canyon meets the Rio Peñasco, the town's history is tied to the reliable water of the valley, evidenced by the nearby Parker Reservoir and various water catchments like the Big Canyon Tank. The terrain is defined by the sharp ridges of the Sacramento Mountains, which are carved by numerous drainages including Sixteen Springs Canyon and Cherry Canyon. For genealogists, the map identifies the Mayhill Cemetery and the Mountain Acres Cemetery, alongside named springs like Posey Springs. The extensive network of forest roads and canyons illustrates a landscape primarily shaped by forestry, ranching, and the geographic constraints of the mountain valleys.
