About this map

Gila National Forest encompasses this high-elevation segment of the Continental Divide in southwestern New Mexico. The Continental Divide National Scenic Trail winds through the western half of the map, traversing the northern reach of the Black Range near Kline Mtn and Scales Canyon. This modern survey illustrates a landscape defined by significant drainage systems and seasonal water sources, which are essential for land management and recreation in this arid environment.

Water points such as Hardcastle Tank, Straight Gulch Tank, and Stiver Spring are vital markers for those navigating the backcountry. The map details a network of forest roads, including State Hwy 59 and Kline Rd, providing access to prominent summits like Sawmill Peak and Franks Mtn. From the depths of Bear Cliff Canyon to the heights of the divide, the terrain supports a complex web of named draws and canyons that define the local geography.
