2017 Map of Reeds Peak

About this map

The Continental Divide runs through the heart of the Gila National Forest, defining the rugged hydrology of this high-elevation landscape in Grant and Sierra Counties. The Continental Divide National Scenic Trail winds along these ridgelines, passing through Reeds Meadow and connecting prominent summits such as Diamond Peak and Reeds Peak. This 2017 survey illustrates the complex drainage systems of the Black Range, where water sources like Diamond Peak Spring, Whiskey Spring, and Newman Spring provided critical points of interest for early travelers and forest rangers alike. The topography is marked by deep incisions like Moccasin John Canyon and Rattlesnake Canyon, which carve through timbered slopes and grassy openings like Turkey Park.
