About this map

The rugged silver and gold mining district of the Gila National Forest is centered around the settlement of Mogollon. This 1999 revision, based on topography from the late 1950s, details a landscape defined by deep canyons and a dense concentration of hard-rock mining operations along Mineral Creek and Silver Creek. The area's industrial legacy is evident in the cluster of major sites including the Fannie Hill Mine, Little Fannie Mine, Deadwood Mine, and the Challenge Venture Mill site.

Local history and genealogy are anchored by features such as the Mogollon Cemetery and Fannie Hill Cemetery, alongside the former townsite of Cooney. Farther south, the terrain descends toward Whitewater Mesa and The Catwalk, a unique industrial landmark. The transport network is dominated by the winding Bursum Road, which provides the primary access through the steep elevation changes of Stout Mesa and Buck Mountain.
