About this map

Negrito Mountain and the high plateaus of Gila National Forest dominate this landscape within the Catron County wilderness. The area is defined by a sophisticated network of water management features, including dozens of livestock and wildlife reservoirs such as Turkey Tank, Ewe Canyon Tank, and Nedra Tank. These dispersed tanks reflect the ranching and resource management priorities of the region.

Remote access is maintained through routes like Bursum Rd and Loco Mountain Rd, which navigate between prominent landforms like Iron Creek Mesa and Gilita Ridge. The map highlights several points of historical and navigational interest, including Adam Hoague Lake and Burnt Cabin Cienega Spring. The labeling of School Canyon and Teacher Tank provides a glimpse into the localized nomenclature of the surrounding drainages.
