2013 Map of Welty Hill

About this map

Cibola National Forest encompasses the high desert terrain of this quadrangle, where a network of seasonal water sources and canyons defines the working landscape. The presence of Pinyon Corral and Pine Cabin in the southern reaches suggests the ongoing use of these lands for ranching and resource management. The geography is punctuated by significant elevation changes, from the prominent Welty Hill and Burnt Peaks to the deep incisions of Whitewater Canyon and Hudson Canyon. Numerous tanks, such as Welty Tank, Rock Spring Tank, and Antelope Tank, are scattered across the terrain, indicating the critical importance of water management in this arid environment. The map also traces established routes like Forest 478 Rd, which provide access through the complex systems of the Sim Yaten Hills.
