About this map

Mogollon Baldy Peak dominates this high-altitude landscape in the heart of the Gila Wilderness. Situated within the Gila National Forest, the terrain is defined by the steep ridges of the Mogollon Mountains and the Jerky Mountains. At the peak, the Mogollon Baldy Lookout Tower stands as a vital vantage point over the complex drainage systems of the West Fork Gila River.

The map reveals a high-country network of water sources essential for backcountry travel, including Black Tail Spring, Turkeyfeather Spring, and Snow Park Spring. Numerous clearings and meadows, such as Halfmoon Park and Jackass Park, are connected by established routes like the Lookout Canyon Trail and various unnamed pack trails. This mid-1960s survey preserves the character of the region's canyons, from the depths of Packsaddle Canyon to the upper reaches of Cub Creek.
