About this map

Cerro Pomo and the high desert terrain of the Eastern Navajo Agency define this landscape, where early 21st-century topography meets isolated outposts and seasonal water sources. The map records several named homesteads and sites, including Grassie Place and Hogg Place, which represent the enduring presence of ranching families in this New Mexico backcountry. Settlement patterns are sparse, dictated by the location of water features such as Sokno Lake, Montoso Tank, and the Julian Windmill.

Prominent landforms like Peñasco Ridge and the Cerros de Las Mujeres rise above the surrounding basin, providing clear landmarks for navigation through the high country. To the north, The Vega offers a distinct contrast to the more prominent peaks like Cerro Montoso and Cerro Cantina. The limited infrastructure of CO Road 40 and scattered camps like Mujeres Camp illustrate the remote nature of this portion of Cibola County, where land use remains tied to traditional grazing and rural habitation.
