1999 Map of Woodland Park

About this map

Gila Wilderness terrain dominates this landscape, where the confluence of several major drainages creates a complex network of canyons and high ridges. The Middle Fork Gila River and West Fork Gila River converge here, carving deep routes like Gila Canyon and Middle Fork Canyon. While the topography is characterized by steep elevation changes, the presence of numerous water sources such as Sam Martin Spring, Cassidy Spring, and the Woodland Park Tank indicates the essential infrastructure for ranching and forest management in this arid region. Human presence is marked by isolated landmarks like Prior Cabin and the namesake Woodland Park area. The map also traces the Green Fly Trail, illustrating the remote transportation routes used within the Gila National Forest before the turn of the 21st century.
