About this map

The Aldo Leopold Wilderness and Gila National Forest dominate this high-altitude landscape along the Black Range crest. This territory is defined by its complex drainage systems, where the East Fork Mimbres River and South Fork Mimbres River originate among prominent peaks like McKnight Mtn and Victorio Park Mtn. The survey records numerous critical water sources for the region, including Geronimo Spring, Marshall Spring, and McKnight Cabin Spring.

Evidence of human passage and land management is centered on a network of established paths, such as the Black Range (Crest Tr) and Animas Divide Tri. These routes connect remote landmarks like Victorio Park and Board Gate Saddle. The geography reflects the stark transition from high timberline ridges to deep drainages like Victorio Park Canyon and Massacre Canyon, illustrating the varied terrain of the Sierra and Grant county border.
