2011 Map of Spring Canyon

About this map

Beaverhead Lodge and the Slash Ranch anchor this high-country landscape in the Gila National Forest area, where the terrain is defined by an intricate network of deep canyons and mesas. The land management of the early 21st century is evident through a sophisticated system of water catchments including Good Heavens Tank, Deadman Tank, and Chuckwagon Tank, which support ranching and wildlife in this arid environment. Significant water sources like V-Cross-T Lake and Stoval Lake contrast with the seasonal drainages of Beaver Creek and Taylor Creek. Named landmarks such as Kemp Mesa and Indian Corral reflect a long history of human occupation and land use, from indigenous heritage to modern forest management accessed via State Rte 61.
