1999 Map of Twin Sisters

About this map

Pinos Altos Range summits dominate this high-elevation portion of the Gila National Forest in Grant County. Mapping in the late 1990s captures a landscape defined by sharp topographical relief and a network of historical transport routes, including the Sawmill Wagon Road and Wagon Road traversing the southern slopes. High points such as Signal Peak Lookout, Scott Peak, and the namesake Twin Sisters provide strategic vantages over the complex drainage systems of Trout Creek, Meadow Creek, and Cherry Creek. This survey reflects the intersection of traditional land use and modern recreation, showing numerous prospects and mines alongside the Continental Divide National Scenic Trail. The presence of a Scenic Byway and various secluded water sources like Seep and Spring further characterize this high-country terrain.
