Cerro Alesna anchors this landscape in the high desert of McKinley County, where the terrain is defined by dramatic elevations and seasonal water sources. The map captures a transition from the elevated peaks of El Dado Peak and the Rincon del Dado in the northeast to the broad expanse of San Lucas Valley in the southwest. Settlement in this arid environment is sparse, centered on the San Miguel Ranch and supported by a network of springs and tanks, including San Miguel Spring and the curious Fort Miguel Ruins Spring.
