About this map

Cibola National Forest defines the high-desert landscape of this region in McKinley County, where prominent elevations like North Burned Timber Mtn and South Burned Timber Mtn overlook a complex system of drainages. The topography is dominated by deep seasonal watercourses and ridges, most notably The Hogback and the titular Burned Timber Canyon. These geological features influence the local road network, which includes several Indian Service Routes such as Indian Svc Rte 26 and Indian Svc Rte 12 that navigate the terrain.

In the southern portion of the quadrangle, the land descends into the Ramah Valley, where Cebolla Cr and Chees Hollow converge. The hydrologic patterns are centered around the Rio Nutria, which cuts through the northwestern corner near Crow Canyon. This map serves as a detailed record of the contemporary infrastructure and natural landmarks within the Eastern Navajo Agency, showing the transition from forest lands to the valley floor.
