About this map

Zuni Indian Reservation lands dominate this arid high-desert landscape along the border of Arizona and New Mexico in the late 1970s. The Zuni River meanders through the eastern half of the quadrangle, joined by the Plumasano Wash. This is a territory defined by its water sources, with isolated points like Barth Well, Deer Water Well, and the colorfully named Hellsapoppin Well serving as vital landmarks across the mesa and canyon country. Near Barth Lake in the northwest, signs of resource extraction appear in the form of a Quarry and various Sandpits. Evidence of the region's remoteness is clear from the reliance on a Jeep Trail for navigation, as the map records a period of minimal infrastructure development where political boundaries between Apache, McKinley, and Valencia counties intersect.
