About this map

The Zuni River meanders across the high-altitude landscape where the border between Arizona and New Mexico meets the dividing line of Apache and Cibola counties. This arid terrain is defined by a complex network of seasonal drainages, including the prominent Jaralosa Draw and Venadito Draw, which cut through the plateau country. The survey captures a sparsely populated region primarily utilized for service routes and ranching, evidenced by the presence of Indian Svc Rte 17 in the northern portion of the quadrangle. A notable topographic landmark identified as Bear Claw stands out along the western edge, illustrating the descriptive naming conventions typical of this borderland area. The map provides a precise view of the Public Land Survey System grids, showing the intersection of townships and ranges that historically governed land allotment in this remote corner of the American Southwest.
