2020 Map of Mogollon

About this map

Mogollon and the nearby settlement of Cooney are the primary centers of human activity in this corner of the Gila National Forest. The landscape is dominated by a complex network of canyons and gulches, including Cooney Canyon, Graveyard Gulch, and Coffee Gulch, which suggest a history of exploration and settlement along the watercourses. The presence of the Cooney Tomb and both the Cooney Cem and Mogollon Cem offer significant touchpoints for genealogists and local historians tracking the families who inhabited these mountain drainages. The topography is defined by prominent elevations like Silver Peak and Fannie Hill, while names like Gold Dust Gulch and Needles Eye hint at the area's geological and prospecting heritage. Infrastructure is sparse, characterized primarily by routes like Bursum Rd and the Old Frisco - Devil's path winding through the high country.
