About this map

Zuni Indian Tribal Lands and Ramah Indian Tribal Lands define the high-desert landscape of this region in McKinley County. The terrain is marked by significant elevation changes, ranging from the heights of North Burned Timber Mtn and South Burned Timber Mtn to the deep incisions of Burned Timber Canyon and Box S Canyon. Water management is central to the area's geography, evidenced by the Nutria Reservoir Number 3 and the seasonal courses of Rio Nutria and Cebolla Cr.

Settlement patterns are sparse, anchored by the community of Ramah in the south and the Ralph Bond Ranch near the center. Navigating the Cibola National Forest involves a network of local routes such as Nutria Rd and Indian Service Route 30. Notable geological formations like The Hogback provide distinct landmarks for those tracing the historical borders and ranching footprints of the Ramah Valley.
