2013 Map of Ciniza

About this map

The Ciniza Refinery stands as a prominent industrial landmark in this high-desert landscape, positioned near the intersection of major transportation corridors. This 2013 survey documents the interface between industrial development and the protected lands of the Cibola National Forest. The terrain is defined by dramatic elevation changes, moving from the drainage of the S Fork Puerco River up to heights like Barometer Mtn and McKenzie Ridge. Evidence of the region's ranching and water management history is visible through features such as the Six A Ranch, Natural Lake, and various stock tanks. Small residential or rail-related clusters at North Guam and South Guam are mapped alongside modern interchanges and named local roads like Mustang Rd and Palomino Loop, showing how the area has evolved to support both the energy industry and rural habitations.
