About this map

Cibola National Forest encompasses the heart of this mid-1960s survey, dominated by the high elevations of the San Mateo Mountains. The landscape is defined by its complex drainage systems, where deep cuts like Monica Canyon and Estaline Canyon draw away from the central peaks. At the southern edge, Mount Withington stands as the primary landmark, overlooking a series of canyons including Potato Canyon and Dry Canyon.

Evidence of remote human presence is sparse but specific, centered around features like Monica Cabin in the northwest and Cooney Windmill to the east. These labels, along with water sources such as A-L Spring, point to the region's history of high-country ranching and forest management. The network of unimproved dirt roads provides the only access through the winding topography of Big Rosa Canyon and Mulligan Gulch.
