1999 Map of Pelona Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 2002

About this map

Pelona Mountain dominates this portion of the Gila National Forest, serving as a high-altitude anchor for a landscape defined by the winding Continental Divide. The terrain is deeply incised by a series of drainages, including Juanita Canyon, Shaw Canyon, and Railroad Canyon, which underscore the geological complexity of the area. This 1990s revision reveals a water-dependent infrastructure critical for ranching and forest management, marked by numerous named water sources such as Fullerton Spring Tank, Bruja Spring, and the Pelona Well. The presence of the National Scenic Trail following the ridge lines indicates the area's transition into a space for long-distance recreation, while the dense network of canyons and high-elevation tanks highlights the enduring importance of water management in this arid high-country environment.
