About this map

Cibola National Forest encompasses the high country of the Crosby Mountains in this mid-1990s record of Catron County. The landscape is defined by its water management infrastructure, with numerous family-named and sectional water sources like Henderson Two Sections Well, Upper Henderson Well, and Agua Fria Well supporting high-altitude ranching and forest operations. The small settlement of Gutierrezville sits along the primary transit corridor, while topographic landmarks such as Sugarloaf Mountain and Cerrito Viejo orient the terrain.

Industrial activity is noted at the Gravel Pit near the eastern boundary, and the network of unimproved roads, including the Greens Gap Road, illustrates the remote nature of this New Mexico quadrangle. The map details an era before significant modern development, focusing on the preservation of natural boundaries and the vital role of the Sugarloaf Tank and various windmills in sustaining the local economy.
