About this map

The mountain settlement of Mayhill sits at the confluence of several high-altitude drainages, serving as a focal point within the Lincoln National Forest during the 1960s. The landscape is defined by the Rio Peñasco, which winds through the central valley, flanked by numerous named canyons such as James Canyon and Sawmill Canyon. This period of the forest's history is marked by established infrastructure like the Mayhill Ranger Station and localized developments such as Mtn View Acres.

Genealogists will find significant local value in the documentation of the Mayhill Cem and the nearby Mtn View Acres Cem. Water management is a visible priority across the terrain, evidenced by numerous tanks and wells, including Big Canyon Tank, CCC Tank, and Huntress Well. The map also traces the era's transport network, from established roads to remote routes like the Wet Burnt Jeep Trail and Snow Can Jeep Trail.
