About this map

Cibola National Forest encompasses much of this high-altitude landscape in Catron County, where rugged peaks and essential water tanks define the local geography. The map focuses on the area around Sugarloaf Mtn, a prominent peak flanked by Maverick Canyon and the wider Crosby Mountains range. To the east, South Crosby Peak stands above a series of named water sources including Rock Tank and Earth Tank, which are critical infrastructure in this arid environment.

The settlement of Gutierrezville sits near the intersection of several local routes, illustrating the sparse but organized ranching and resource-based layout of the region. A network of back-country paths like Southern Trl and Agua Fria Trl connect the various canyons and tanks, while more established roads like Greens Gap Rd provide access to the broader territory. The presence of numerous named tanks, such as Tipton Tank and Johnnies Tank, highlights the historical importance of managed water for livestock and survival in this part of New Mexico.
