About this map

The Zuñi River meanders across this high-desert landscape on the border of Arizona and New Mexico, carving a path through a region defined by its drainage systems and remote infrastructure. The named settlement of Barth Well serves as a central landmark in a territory where water sources like Barth Lake and seasonal channels like Plumasano Wash dictate the geography of the land.

Transportation in the early 21st century relies on a network of tribal and state routes, including Az-61 and Barth Lake Rd in the northwest, while Bia-38 and Bia-17 provide access further east and south. The map documents the precise intersection of several jurisdictional boundaries, including the state line and the borders between Apache, McKinley, and Cibola counties, illustrating how modern political divisions overlay this ancient river valley.
