1965 Map of Woodland Park

USGS Topo · Published 1992

About this map

The Gila River and its major tributaries dominate this 1960s survey of the high Catron County backcountry, where the West Fork Gila River and Middle Fork Gila River carve deep, winding canyons through the volcanic landscape. This area, largely defined by the Gila Wilderness, is notably devoid of permanent roads, instead relying on an extensive network of a Pack Trail for navigation. The map documents a survival economy centered on water management, evidenced by numerous livestock tanks such as Yellow Bear Tank, Deep Tank, and Adobe Tank. High points like Yellow Mountain overlook named drainages including Indian Creek Canyon and Log House Canyon. Evidence of early settlement or seasonal residency appears at Prior Cabin, while natural features like The Meadows and Sam Martin Spring indicate reliable forage and water in a landscape of dramatic elevation changes.
