About this map

The high peaks and deep canyons of the Chiricahua National Forest dominate the borderlands of Arizona and New Mexico in this late-1950s survey. The map details a landscape of dramatic elevation changes, where the steep slopes of Silver Peak and Portal Peak overlook established recreational and scientific sites. Of particular note is the Southwestern Research Station and the Portal Ranger Sta, situated at the mouth of Cave Creek Canyon. This area serves as a gateway to numerous campgrounds like Stewart Forest Camp and Herb Martyr Forest Camp, reflecting the region's importance for both biological study and public land management.
