2020 Map of Reeds Peak

About this map

Continental Divide National Scenic Trail winds through the high elevations of the Black Range, crossing the border between Grant and Sierra Counties. This 2020 topographical study of the Gila National Forest shows a landscape defined by significant peaks and deep drainages, including Diamond Peak and Reeds Peak. The hydrography of the area is centered around several critical water sources like Diamond Cr, Morgan Cr, and the S Fork Palomas Cr. Scattered throughout the high country are vital named springs and clearings such as Upper Morgan Spring, Whiskey Spring, and the Spud Patch. The network of canyons, from Skid Canyon to Moccasin John Canyon, highlights the complex drainage patterns that feed into the larger watersheds of southwestern New Mexico.
