Native fishes of the Gila River Basin, NMNew Mexico’s last free-flowing river
The Gila River Basin in New Mexico is composed of two major rivers, Gila and San Francisco Rivers. The headwaters of both rivers are found at high elevations in the Mogollon Mountains. Headwater streams of the Gila River form the river’s West, Middle, and East forks. The rivers and creeks of the Gila Basin flow through vast forested wilderness, deep rocky canyons, and desert grasslands. Increasing water demands threaten this unique system. Fortunately, there are numerous conservation entities working hard to preserve this pristine wilderness and the fauna and flora that depend on it.
