About this map

Gila National Forest lands dominate this high-altitude landscape where the Continental Divide crests along the Black Range. The map reveals a network of canyons and springs that sustained early ranching and forestry operations in this isolated corner of the state. Prominent landmarks such as Reeds Peak and the Reeds Peak Lookout Tower served as critical observation points for fire management.

Evidence of historical land use appears in scattered locations like Reeds Ranch and Whitmore Cabin, alongside functional sites such as Rattlesnake Corral and Upper Palomas Corral. The terrain is defined by steep relief, stretching from Turkey Park in the north to Lake Mtn in the south. Dozens of named water sources, including Squeaky Spring and Diamond Peak Spring, indicate the essential water locations for both cattle and travelers navigating the divide.
