2020 Map of Taylor Peak

About this map

The Gila National Forest forms the primary landscape of this New Mexico quadrangle, where the boundary between Catron and Sierra counties cuts across the northern terrain. This high-altitude region is defined by a complex drainage network feeding into Taylor Creek, marked by numerous canyons such as Whitewater Canyon and Sawmill Canyon. Settlement is virtually absent, with the notable exception of Burnt Cabin Flat, suggesting a history of seasonal or specialized land use rather than permanent townships.
