About this map

Zuni Indian Tribal Lands and Ramah Indian Tribal Lands define the administrative and cultural landscape of this high-elevation New Mexico territory. The region is marked by significant topographical shifts, most notably The Hogback and the twin peaks of North Burned Timber Mountain and South Burned Timber Mountain. Water sources such as the Rio Nutria in the northwest and Rio Pescado in the southwest have historically influenced land use and movement through this arid environment.

A network of Bureau of Indian Affairs routes, including Indian Service Route 34 and Indian Service Route 28, provides access to interior features like Crow Canyon and Box S Canyon. Local land holdings like the Ralph Bond Ranch sit alongside traditional tribal grazing areas, illustrating the mix of private and communal land management. Smaller drainages such as Cebolla Creek and narrow passages like Blind Canyon further detail the complex watershed system feeding into the larger Rio Pescado basin.
