About this map

Mogollon Baldy Peak anchors this high-elevation region within the Gila Wilderness, a landscape defined by dramatic drainages and secluded mountain basins. The terrain is a network of deep canyons like Cooper Canyon and Langstroth Canyon, which funnel water into the West Fork Gila River and Mogollon Creek. This environment is characterized by its isolation and the preservation of an intricate trail system, including the Mogollon Baldy Trl and the Turkeyfeather Mtn Trl, which connect high-altitude features like Turkeyfeather Mtn and Snow Park.

The presence of numerous named springs, such as Turkeyfeather Spring and Little Hobo Spring, highlights the critical water sources that sustain life in the Gila National Forest. The map also reveals localized flats and meadows, notably Halfmoon Park and Jackass Park, which provide rare breaks in the surrounding Jerky Mountains. For researchers, these named landmarks offer insight into the historical nomenclature used by forest rangers and early backcountry travelers.
