2017 Map of Mogollon

About this map

Mogollon and the nearby settlement of Cooney occupy a terrain defined by steep gulches and high mesas within the Gila National Forest. The landscape is heavily marked by its mining heritage, evidenced by the numerous named gulches such as Deadwood Gulch, Graveyard Gulch, and Coffee Gulch that surround the primary settlements. Local history and genealogy are anchored by the Mogollon Cem and the Cooney Cem, while the Cooney Tomb stands as a specific landmark near Mineral Cr. High-elevation features like Fannie Hill, Silver Peak, and Whitewater Mesa overlook a complex network of water tanks and springs, including Houston Gulch Tank and Bearup Spring, which were essential for sustaining activity in this arid, high-altitude environment. The road network, including Bursum Rd and Copper Creek Rd, navigates the difficult geography from the valley floors to the high saddles like Sled Saddle.
