About this map

The high-elevation terrain of the Gila National Forest dominates this Catron County landscape, defined by the rugged peaks of the Tularosa Mountains and Milligan Mountain. Water sources are critical in this arid upland environment, evidenced by numerous livestock tanks such as Largo Tank Number 2 and Pisto Plaza Number 5 Tank, alongside natural features like Willow Spring and Kimball Spring.

Drainage patterns follow deep cuts through the mesas, notably Largo Canyon and Wilson Canyon in the north, while the Tularosa River and Negrito Cr wind through the central and western sections. The map traces the ridge of the Sheep Basin Divide in the south, separating several deep canyons including Willow Spring Canyon and Chimney Canyon. Development is sparse, primarily represented by State Rte 233 and a network of forest roads serving this protected wilderness area.
