About this map

Cibola National Forest defines the southern expanse of this landscape, where high-elevation features like Barometer Mtn and McKenzie Ridge overlook a network of drainage systems. The northern corridor is dominated by the S Fork Puerco River, which runs parallel to the primary transportation artery connecting the settlements of Perea, Ciniza, and the twin locations of North Guam and South Guam.

This area is characterized by numerous canyons and draws, including Fourmile Canyon and Tampico Draw, which suggest a topography shaped by seasonal water flow. Human activity is evidenced by specialized infrastructure like Giant Xing and a series of water management points such as Windmill Tank and Section Six Tank, reflecting the rural and resource-focused nature of this McKinley County region during the early 21st century.
