1999 Map of Mule Creek

USGS Topo · Published 2002

About this map

Mule Creek serves as a remote hub in the high desert of Grant County, where the settlement is surrounded by a sprawling network of family holdings and cattle operations. The landscape is defined by the Mule Mountains and the northern reaches of the Gila National Forest, a terrain cut by deep drainages like Boiling Canyon and Sawmill Canyon. Water is the critical currency here, evidenced by the high density of livestock tanks including Roadside Tank, Hardluck Tank, and Ball Park Tank. The mapping of established sites like the Larremore Ranch, Harkey Ranch, and Wilkinson Ranch illustrates the long-standing ranching legacy of the region. A solitary Cem near the forest boundary provides a point of interest for genealogists tracing early families in this corner of the New Mexico borderlands.
