About this map

The Mogollon Mountains dominate this high-altitude landscape within the Gila National Forest, where the topography is defined by a dense network of drainages and peaks. Shelley Peak serves as a central landmark, surrounded by significant relief features like Lookout Mtn and numerous deep-cut ravines including Deadman Canyon, Fall Canyon, and Rough Canyon. The intricate hydrology of the region is centered on the Mogollon Creek and its tributaries, including the South Fork Mogollon Creek and West Fork Mogollon Creek.

Remote land management is evident through isolated improvements such as Seventyfour Mountain Tank and Deadman Tank, which provided vital water sources for forest operations or grazing. The map also delineates a network of wilderness access, including the Mogollon Trl, Kemp Trl, and Rain Creek Trl, which navigate the boundary of the Gila Wilderness. The county line between Catron and Grant counties is clearly marked across this roadless interior, reachable only by forest routes like 916 RD at the sheet's edge.
