About this map

Wahoo Ranch and the small settlement of Dusty anchor this map of high-elevation ranching land along the border of Socorro and Catron counties. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of drainage systems, including Alamosa Creek and Silver Cr, which have carved deep features such as Rock Springs Canyon and Wildhorse Canyon into the terrain. Human presence is sparse, centered around established ranching outposts and necessary water infrastructure like Bull Pasture Tank and Knisely Tank.

Part of the Gila National Forest occupies the western edge of the quadrangle, where the terrain becomes increasingly complex. Genealogists and local historians will find the Dusty Cem near the northern boundary, a critical marker for early families in this arid region. The road network is limited to forest routes like Forest 478 Rd and FR 913, reflecting the enduring isolation of these mountain canyons.
