About this map

Shelley Peak stands as the central landmark of this mid-1960s survey, documenting a portion of the Mogollon Mountains where the Catron and Grant County line runs through high-elevation terrain. This area is characterized by an extensive network of drainage systems, including Lookout Canyon, South Fork Canyon, and Skeleton Canyon, all feeding into the Mogollon Creek watershed.

Remote land use and conservation are evident through the Gila Wilderness boundary, which segments the Gila National Forest. The map captures a backcountry infrastructure of pack trails, such as the Mogollon Trail and Lookout Trail, alongside livestock-related features like Seventyfour Mountain Tank and Deadman Tank. The terrain's nomenclature, including Buds Hole and Rawmeat Canyon, reflects the local history of ranching and exploration in this high-mountain landscape.
