About this map

The Brushy Mountains and the Saliz Mountains dominate this high-country landscape, where the boundary between the Apache National Forest and Gila National Forest meets. A network of livestock infrastructure and early ranching history is preserved here, from the Pueblo Park Corral in the northwest to the L Kelly Ranch near the San Francisco River in the southeast.

Remote outposts such as Martinez Ranch and Serna Ranch are situated along the winding route of U.S. 180 as it climbs toward Saliz Pass. The map documents numerous water features essential for land use in this arid terrain, including Kelly Tank No 1, Willies Tank, and the descriptively named Gut Ache Mesa Tank. For genealogists and local historians, the presence of a Cem near the canyon systems and established camps like Kelly Camp offers specific points of interest for tracing the occupation of this mountainous corridor.
