About this map

Wall Lake and the surrounding wilderness of the Gila National Forest define this high-altitude landscape in New Mexico. The geography is characterized by a complex network of deep drainage systems, including Taylor Cr, Beaver Cr, and the E Fork Gila River. These water sources are complemented by numerous named stock tanks and springs, such as Undertaker Tank, Horse Trap Spring, and Pot Hole Tank, which provide critical water points for wildlife and livestock in this arid terrain.

Transportation is limited to the winding corridor of State Rte 61, which navigates through prominent landforms like Kemp Mesa and North Star Canyon. The map reveals the intricate watershed of Diamond Cr and the various canyons—such as Trap Corral Canyon and Deer Canyon—that carve into the timbered plateaus. This 2017 survey details the hydrological infrastructure necessary for land management within the forest boundaries.
