About this map

Gila National Forest spans this mid-1980s survey of the high country along the Grant and Sierra County line. The topography is defined by a dense concentration of named peaks, including Seven Brothers Mountain, Stoner Mountain, and the namesake P A Mountain to the southeast. Water sources are critical identifiers in this arid environment, with several distinct springs such as Berrenda Spring, Larkins Spring, and Mc Mullen Spring serving as vital landmarks for those navigating the backcountry.

Canyons and arroyos create a complex drainage network across the landscape, notably Tierra Blanca Creek, Stoner Creek, and the deep cuts of O Bar O Canyon and Silvertail Canyon. The map reveals a remote territory where human activity is largely represented by improved and unimproved roads following the natural contours of the land, such as the path near Schoolhouse Mountain in the south. This edition reflects the area's state just before the turn of the 21st century, providing a detailed look at the land's natural features and primitive transportation routes.
