2011 Map of Wahoo Peak

About this map

Wahoo Peak anchors this high-elevation landscape in Catron County, where a complex network of seasonal drainages and man-made water catchments defines the land use. The presence of the Black Box Mine and Bambi Claims suggests a history of mineral prospecting in the canyons east of Silver Creek. This environment is heavily managed for water, as evidenced by the numerous named catchments such as Wahoo Tank, Poison Tank, and Woodcutter Tank, which are essential for livestock or wildlife in an area where permanent water is scarce. The map reveals an intricate grid of forest roads, including 4141j and 4052s, providing access to remote drainage systems like Seven H L Canyon and Antelope Canyon.
