1981 Map of Pelona Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1981

About this map

Pelona Mountain dominates this high-altitude landscape in Catron County, where the Continental Divide winds across the high desert terrain. The topography is defined by deep drainages including Shaw Canyon, Juanita Canyon, and Cottonwood Canyon, all dropping away from the central highlands. Water management is the primary human imprint on this arid environment, evidenced by a network of engineered tanks and wells such as Pelona Well, Stallings Tank, and Fullerton Spring Tank. The presence of the Gila National Forest boundary in the southern portion of the sheet highlights the transition between managed forest lands and the surrounding open range. The Fullerton Trail provides one of the few named routes through the complex canyon systems, connecting high-country springs like Bruja Spr to lower elevations.
