About this map

Chloride and Winston sit at the eastern edge of the Gila National Forest, serving as gateway settlements to the rugged Black Range of southwestern New Mexico. This survey captures a landscape defined by sharp elevation changes, where seasonal drainages like Mineral Cr and Chloride Cr cut through the terrain. The presence of Santa Niño Cem and the Po in Winston indicates a persistent community identity despite the remote mountain setting.

Resource extraction and ranching history is evidenced by features such as the Treasury Windmill, Bald Eagle Windmill, and the high-elevation Midnight Cabin. The map details local infrastructure from Wall St in Chloride to the Chloride Airport, illustrating how these small outposts are connected via routes like NM-52. The topographical detail covers prominent peaks such as Hagins Peak and Way-Up Mtn, providing a clear view of the drainage basins for the S Fork Cuchillo Negro Cr.
