2020 Map of Mojonera Canyon

About this map

The Continental Divide winds through this high-elevation corner of Catron County, defining a landscape of deep canyons and seasonal water catchments within the Gila National Forest. The 2020 terrain is marked by a network of ranching-related water features, such as Henry Ford Tank, Dead Steer Tank, and Rock House Tank, which are critical infrastructure in this arid environment. The passage of the Continental Divide National Scenic Trail provides a modern recreational layer over the established topography of Mojonera Canyon and Alamo Canyon. This area reflects a long-standing land-use pattern where public forest management and remote cattle ranching intersect, evidenced by the scattered stock tanks and the winding path of Forest Rd 30 cutting across the northern reaches.
