1999 Map of Sugarloaf Peak

USGS Topo · Published 2002

About this map

Hermosa and its nearby extraction sites form the central activity of this high-country survey in the Gila National Forest. The landscape is dominated by the complex drainage systems of the North Fork Palomas Creek and South Fork Palomas Creek, carving deep canyons like Grapevine Canyon and Poverty Canyon through the terrain. A history of local mining is preserved in labels for the Pelican Group Mines and the Protector Mine, while the small Hermosa Cem stands as a quiet marker of the early residents who settled this corner of Sierra County. Pastoral life is noted at Dines Ranch and near various water sources like Moccasin John Well and Negro Bob Well, illustrating how early ranching depended on these critical springs and wells. The map also delineates the northern boundary of the Aldo Leopold Wilderness, where elevations rise toward prominent landmarks such as Sugarloaf Peak and Black Peak.
