About this map

White Oaks sits at the northern edge of this high-altitude landscape, a historic mining hub established in the late nineteenth century. The map illustrates a network of trails and resource-gathering points, including the Barber Springs Trl and Trail Canyon Trl, which navigate the complex topography of the Lincoln National Forest. The presence of the Cedarvale Cem and Powder Magazine Spring near the townsite reflects the early infrastructure of this once-booming district.

Water management is central to the area's geography, indicated by numerous tanks like Madden Tank and Jims Tank, alongside natural sources such as Felix Spring and Goat Spring. The terrain is dominated by the Carrizo Mtn massif and the Vera Cruz Mountains, where elevation changes are marked by features like Benado Gap and the Indian Divide. This modern survey details the persistent tracks and named springs that have supported ranching and mining throughout Lincoln County's history.
