About this map

Spur Lake and the high elevations of the Apache National Forest define this western New Mexico landscape. The area is characterized by a series of high mesas and peaks, including the prominent Hell Roaring Mesa and Bill Lee Mesa in the south, while Jim Smith Peak and Jones Peak anchor the northern reaches. This terrain is marked by a complex system of drainage and storage, with numerous stock tanks and springs such as Karruth Tank and Twin Boe Spring supporting life in the high-altitude forest.

Local history is centered on the Spur Lake Cem, situated near the Spur Lake Basin. The map traces the rugged paths of Bill Knight Gap Rd and Center Fire Rd, which navigate through features like Bishop Canyon and Black Gap. This document offers a precise record of the land use and hydrology of the region, from the seasonal flows of Jenkins Cr to the permanent waters of Underwood Lake and Bar C Lake.
