About this map

The Black Range Crest defines the high-altitude landscape of this portion of the Gila National Forest, straddling the boundary between Grant and Sierra Counties. This 2020 survey documents a network of springs and drainage systems vital to the arid region, including the McKnight Cabin Spring and Geronimo Spring. The terrain is marked by named summits like McKnight Mtn and Victoria Park Mtn, which rise above deep canyons such as Massacre Canyon and Water Canyon.

Cultural landmarks are concentrated along the northern reaches of the McKnight Rd, where the McKnight Cabin and Board Gate Saddle provide evidence of forest management and early ranching infrastructure. The hydrologic patterns are centered on the headwaters of the S Fork Mimbres River and Animas Creek, while the Lake Trail suggests the historical routes used to navigate these high ridges and the small, seasonal waters of Mimbres Lake.
