About this map

Gila National Forest encompasses this high-elevation terrain in Catron County, dominated by the towering summits of Whitewater Baldy and Mogollon Baldy Peak. The landscape is defined by a complex network of ridges and deep canyons, including Cooper Canyon and Packsaddle Canyon, which channel vital water sources like White Cr and the W Fork Gila River. These drainage patterns are central to the region's geography, feeding into larger systems that sustain the surrounding wilderness.

Evidence of early movement through these heights is found in named transit points such as Turkeyfeather Pass and the West Fork Saddle. Small, essential water features like Turkeyfeather Spring, Little Hobo Spring, and Black Tail Spring appear throughout the forest, marking critical stops for those navigating the Jerky Mountains. High-altitude meadows and flats, including Lilley Park and Halfmoon Park, offer breaks in the vertical relief, providing historical context for seasonal use of this mountain territory.
