2013 Map of Mogollon

About this map

The mountain settlement of Mogollon sits deep within the Gila National Forest, surrounded by a landscape defined by steep canyons and historical mining-era landmarks. This area of Catron County is mapped with significant detail regarding local genealogy and history, including the Mogollon Cem and the more remote Cooney Cem near the site of Cooney. The terrain is characterized by dramatic elevation changes at Fannie Hill and Silver Peak, with the notable Needles Eye formation overlooking Mineral Cr. Further south, the broad Whitewater Mesa provides a contrast to the narrow corridors of Johnson Gulch and Graveyard Gulch. This survey records the proximity of early settlements like Claremont to the network of gulches and canyons that drove the region's early development, all accessed via the winding Bursum Rd.
