About this map

Sacramento serves as a central hub within the Lincoln National Forest, defined by its complex network of canyons and upland springs. The landscape at the start of the 21st century reflects a long history of institutional presence, with the Sacramento Methodist Assembly, Sivells Baptist Camp, and Camp Mary White occupying strategic positions near reliable water sources like the Rio Peñasco. This period shows the region's transition from a strictly resource-based mountain economy toward recreation and administrative stewardship, evidenced by the Sacramento Admin Site and the high-elevation Weed Lookout.

Detailed drainage mapping follows the descent of Agua Chiquita Canyon and Cox Canyon, where numerous tanks and springs, such as Turkey Spring and Middle Tank, supported high-altitude ranching or forest management. Local history is etched into the terrain through family-named landmarks like Charlie Harris Canyon and Mc Ewan Canyon, along with isolated features like a marked Grave and a Cemetery near the eastern edge.
