2017 Map of Shelley Peak

About this map

Shelley Peak and the high ridges of the Mogollon Mountains dominate this high-elevation landscape within the Gila National Forest. The topography is defined by a dense network of drainage systems, including the complex forks of Mogollon Creek, which has carved dramatic relief such as Woodrow Canyon and Skeleton Canyon. This area, straddling the boundary of Catron and Grant counties, shows very limited human infrastructure, focusing instead on water management features essential for wilderness or ranching utility. Small-scale water sources like Deadman Tank and Seventyfour Mountain Tank are scattered throughout the peaks, while named landmarks such as Lookout Mountain provide orientation in the backcountry. The map also captures the natural hydrology of the region, from the secluded Buds Hole to the flow of Trail Creek.
