About this map

The Continental Divide winds through the heart of the Gila National Forest in this 1948 survey, providing a detailed record of high-elevation infrastructure in Grant County. Industrial history is evident along the watercourses, particularly at Masons Mill and the nearby Saw Mill Ruins, indicating the area's reliance on timber and natural resources during the mid-20th century. The settlement of Redstone serves as a small anchor point amidst a network of forest camps, including McMillan Forest Camp and Cherry Creek Forest Camp. These sites, along with the Gila Scout Camp, highlight the region's importance for early forest management and recreation. Elevated landmarks such as Signal Peak and the namesake Twin Sisters dominate the topography, connected by an intricate system of fire-watch and access routes like the Lookout Trail and Black Peak Trail.
