2020 Map of Tillie Hall Peak

About this map

Apache National Forest and Gila National Forest meet in this high-altitude landscape along the New Mexico-Arizona border. The terrain is defined by a series of prominent summits, including Tillie Hall Peak, Yellowjacket Peak, and Hells Hole Peak, while the drainage system of Apache Cr and its tributaries carve deep canyons like Hells Hole Canyon and Dark Thunder Canyon. This map provides a detailed view of the remote ranching infrastructure in Grant County during the early 21st century. Access across the rugged geography is marked by historic routes such as Stauffer Ranch Rd and Goodner Ranch Rd, which connect isolated water sources like Bitter Creek Spring and Franks Tank. The survey highlights the essential nature of these springs and tanks in a landscape where names like Hells Hole and Wampoo Wash reflect the challenging environmental conditions faced by generations of land users.
