2023 Map of Woodland Park

About this map

Gila Wilderness and Gila National Forest define this high-elevation landscape in Catron County, where the dramatic topography of the Gila River system is mapped in detail. The confluence of the West Fork Gila River and Middle Fork Gila River creates a complex network of canyons, including the notably named Nat Straw Canyon and Chicken Coop Canyon. The settlement of Woodland Park serves as a central landmark in a region where water management is critical, as evidenced by numerous named stock tanks and springs such as Woodland Park Tank, Sam Martin Spring, and Mattice Tank. An extensive trail system, including the Lilley Park Trl and Prior Creek Trl, connects these remote canyons and peaks, illustrating the area's importance for wilderness access and forest management.
