About this map

Sawmill Peak stands as a prominent landmark within the Gila National Forest, marking a landscape defined by significant elevation changes and seasonal water sources. The Continental Divide National Scenic Trail winds through the western portion of this terrain, following the spine of the Continental Divide near Kline Mtn. The area is characterized by a network of drainage systems including Poverty Cr and Bear Cr, which are fed by isolated water points like Whiskey Spring, Jenny Spring, and Faulkner Spring.

Evidence of historical access is visible through named routes such as Santana Rd and Franks Rd, which penetrate the high country near Franks Mtn. The boundary between Catron and Sierra Counties bisects the northern reaches of the Black Range, highlighting the remote jurisdictional intersections in this part of New Mexico. This survey provides a precise look at the canyons and draws, such as Wildhorse Canyon and Alaska Draw, that shape the local topography.
