2020 Map of Wahoo Peak

About this map

The Black Range dominates this portion of the Gila National Forest, where the Continental Divide National Scenic Trail winds through high-elevation terrain. This survey reflects a landscape shaped by intermittent water sources, evidenced by numerous named tanks such as Polecat Tank, Hog Tank, and South Wahoo Tank that support the local ecosystem. Significant landmarks like Wahoo Peak and Bear Mtn rise above a series of deeply cut drainages including Wahoo Canyon, Pole Canyon, and Knisely Canyon. The presence of Adobe Spring and Adobe Canyon suggests a history of reliance on these specific water points in a high-desert environment. This documentation captures the area's wild character, with the Continental Divide serving as the primary geographic spine for both topographical drainage and modern recreational paths.
