Datil National Forest

Datil National Forest was a United States National Forest established in western New Mexico by the U.S. Forest Service in 1908.[1] It was merged into another and ceased in 1931.

History

Datil National Forest was formed from the part of the also new Gila National Forest and other public lands. It began in 1908 with 1,255,883 acres (5,082.38 km2). The Magdalena National Forest and other areas were added in 1909.[2]

The entire Datil National Forest lands were transferred to the jurisdictions of the Cibola National Forest (primarily) and Gila National Forest in 1931.[3] The name was discontinued.[4]

Present day

The former Datil Forest area is part of the Magdalena Ranger District of the Cibola National Forest. It is located in the Datil Mountains, to the north of the town of Datil, in Catron and Socoro Counties.[5]

gollark: - you should tell people when you find some information on them, not then decide to go hunting for yet more information and not telling them in the meantime- you should stop gathering data on them when they ask you to, and not try and deliberately stop them from knowing you're doing it
