2011 Map of Middle Mesa

About this map

Middle Mesa and Tom Moore Mesa dominate this high-altitude landscape in Grant County, where the terrain is defined by a sophisticated network of water catchment systems and seasonal drainages. The map reveals a remote ranching and aviation footprint centered around Diamond Bar Ranch and the Me-Own Airport, alongside the Me Own Fire Base. These features, connected by State Rte 61 and N Star RD, highlight the area's dual role in private land use and public forest management. Water management is critical in this environment, evidenced by dozens of named tanks such as Tom Moore Tank Number Two and the Squaw Creek Ridge Tank. Recreation and conservation are also prominent, with the Upper Black Canyon Campground and Lower Black Canyon Campground situated near Hodge Canyon. The convergence of East Diamond Creek and South Diamond Creek in the north, alongside the winding course of Squaw Creek in the south, illustrates the complex hydrology of the Gila region.
