2011 Map of Shelley Peak

About this map

Shelley Peak stands as a prominent high point within the Mogollon Mountains of Grant County, anchoring a landscape defined by an intricate network of deep canyons and seasonal drainages. This high-altitude drainage basin centers on the Mogollon Creek and its primary tributary, the South Fork Mogollon Creek, which carve through the volcanic terrain. Evidence of past mineral exploration is visible at the Seventy Four Mountain Prospect, located near Seventyfour Mountain Tank. The geography is characterized by specifically named natural features that suggest a history of ranching and backcountry use, including Buds Hole, Gobbler Canyon, and Tepee Canyon. Water management in this arid mountain environment is highlighted by the presence of isolated water catchments such as Deadman Tank, which sit along the drainages of Deadman Canyon and Lookout Canyon.
