About this map

Gutierrezville sits at a crossroads in the high desert of Catron County, where modern roads intersect a landscape defined by ranching and resource management. The terrain is dominated by the peaks and drainages of the Cibola National Forest, specifically the heights of Sugarloaf Mountain and South Crosby Peak. This 2011 survey reflects a rural New Mexico interior where water management remains the primary infrastructure, evidenced by a network of engineered features like Sugarloaf Tank, Big Tank, and Johnnies Tank.

Beyond the settlements, the map illustrates the complex topography of the Maverick Canyon and Sugarloaf Canyon systems. Local landmarks like the Sugarloaf Windmill and Rock House West Windmill provide evidence of historical land use and livestock operations. Transport through the area is guided by established routes such as Greens Gap Rd and the Agua Fria Trl, which provide access to the high-elevation Cerrito Viejo.
