2017 Map of Paddys Hole

About this map

The Continental Divide National Scenic Trail winds through the high-elevation terrain of the Gila National Forest, crossing a landscape defined by significant canyons and draws. This high-country region is dominated by the Luera Mountains and the Black Range, where water management is central to the land's utility. Numerous named tanks, such as Ofaro Tank and Upper Duck Tank, are scattered across the terrain to capture runoff for livestock or wildlife, while Lonesome Well provides a localized water source in the remote canyons. The map tracks the passage through the Paddys Hole area, revealing how transportation and ranching infrastructure like Pueblo Ranch Rd follow the natural contours of landmarks like School Section Draw and Corduroy Draw. This 2017 survey serves as a modern record of one of the more secluded sections of the Continental Divide.
