About this map

Gila National Forest preserves a landscape defined by its complex drainage network and elevated mesas in Catron County. The Middle Fork Gila River and W Fork Gila River carve through the terrain, joined by numerous seasonal creeks like Indian Cr and Prior Cr. Evidence of the region's reliance on water management is visible in the distribution of named stock tanks, including Yellow Bear Tank, Woodland Park Tank, and the numbered Green Fly Tank Number One.

The topography is dominated by prominent landforms such as Yellow Mtn and expansive flats like Woodland Park. Deeply etched canyons like Chicken Coop Canyon, Nat Straw Canyon, and Jordan Canyon suggest a territory historically used for ranching and forest management. Named points of interest such as San Martin Spring and Cassidy Spring provide a look at the vital water sources that supported activity in this part of New Mexico.
