Range Science Certified Wildlife Biologist Division of Agricultural Programs and Resources New Mexico Department of Agriculture December 1995 ACknoWledgments Many people who live in the vicinity of the Gila National Forest are concerned about the degraded condition of its resources. This document resulted from my discussions with some of them, and the conclusion that something must be started to address the complex situation. Appreciation is extended to the participants in this project, who chose to get involved, and whose assistance and knowledge contributed significantly to the project. Their knowledge ofthe country, keen observations, and perceptive interpretations of the situation are unsurpassed. As a bonus, they are a pleasure to be around. Kit Laney - President, Gila Permittee's Association, and lifetime area rancher, Diamond Bar Cattle Co. Matt Schneberger - Vice President, Gila Permittee's Association, and lifetime area rancher, Rafter Spear Ranch. Becky Campbell Snow and David Snow - Gila Hot Springs Ranch. Becky is a lifetime area guide and outfitter. The Snows provided the livestock and equipment for both trips to review and photograph the Glenn Allotment in the Gila Wilderness. Wray Schildknecht - ArrowSun Associates, B.S. Wildlife Science, Reserve, NM. D. A. "Doc" and Ida Campbell, Gila Hot Springs Ranch, provided the precipitation data. They have served as volunteer weather reporters for the National Weather Service Forecast Office since 1957, and they are longtime area ranchers, guides, and outfitters. Their gracious hospitality at headquarters was appreciated by everyone.

  • Gila National Forest Fact Sheet
    CENTER FOR BIOLOGICAL DIVERSITY Because life is good. GILA NATIONAL FOREST The Gila National Forest occupies 3.3 million acres in southwestern New Mexico and is home to the Mexican spotted owl, Mexican gray wolf, Gila chub, southwestern willow flycatcher, loach minnow, and spikedace. The forest also encompasses the San Francisco, Gila, and Mimbres Rivers, and the scenic Burros Mountains. In the 1920s, conservation pioneer Aldo Leopold persuaded the Forest Service to set aside more than half a million acres of the Gila River’s headwaters as wilderness. This wild land became the nation’s first designated wilderness Photo © Robin Silver — the Gila Wilderness Area — in 1924.

  • Butch Cassidy Roamed Incognito in Southwest New Mexico
    Nancy Coggeshall I For The New Mexican Hideout in the Gila Butch Cassidy roamed incognito in southwest New Mexico. Hideout in the Gila utch Cassidy’s presence in southwestern New Mexico is barely noted today. Notorious for his successful bank Butch Cassidy roamed and train robberies at the turn of the 20th century, incognito in southwest Cassidy was idealized and idolized as a “gentleman out- New Mexico wilderness Blaw” and leader of the Wild Bunch. He and various members of the • gang worked incognito at the WS Ranch — set between Arizona’s Blue Range and San Carlos Apache Reservation to the west and the Nancy Coggeshall rugged Mogollon Mountains to the east — from February 1899 For The New Mexican until May 1900. Descendants of pioneers and ranchers acquainted with Cassidy tell stories about the man their ancestors knew as “Jim Lowe.” Nancy Thomas grew up hearing from her grandfather Clarence Tipton and others that Cassidy was a “man of his word.” Tipton was the foreman at the WS immediately before Cassidy’s arrival. The ranch sits at the southern end of the Outlaw Trail, a string of accommodating ranches and Wild Bunch hideouts stretching from Montana and the Canadian border into Mexico. The country surrounding the WS Ranch is forbidding; volcanic terrain cleft with precipitously angled, crenelated canyon walls defies access. A “pretty hard layout,” local old-timer Robert Bell told Lou Blachly, whose collection of interviews with pioneers — conducted PROMIENT PLACES - between 1942 and 1953 — are housed at the University of New OUTLAW TRAIL Mexico. What better place to dodge the law? 1.

  • A Path Through the Wilderness: the Story of Forest Road
    A Path Through the Wilderness: The Story of Forest Road 150 Gila National Forest Erin Knolles Assistant Forest Archeologist March 2016 1 National Forest System Road 150 [commonly referred to as Forest Road (FR) 150], begins within the confines of the Gila National Forest and stretches north about 55 miles from NM 35 near Mimbres past Beaverhead Work Center to NM 163 north of the Gila National Forest boundary. FR 150 is the main road accessing this area of the Gila National Forest. Its location between two Wilderness Areas, Aldo Leopold and the Gila, makes it an important corridor for public access, as well as, administrative access for the Gila National Forest. Forest Road 150: The Name and a Brief History FR150 has been known by several names. The road was first called the North Star Road by the residents of Grant County and the U.S. Military when it was constructed in the 1870s.1 Today, the route is still called the North Star Road and used interchangeably with FR 150. Through most of the 20th century, FR 150 was under New Mexico state jurisdiction and named New Mexico (NM) 61.2 Of interest is that topographical maps dating to at least 1980, list the road as both NM 61 and FR 150.3 This is interesting because, today, it is common practice not to give roads Forest Service names unless they are under the jurisdiction of the Forest Service. In addition, the 1974 Gila National Forest Map refers to the route as FR 150.4 There is still some question when the North Star Road and NM 61 became known as FR 150.
