1962 Map of Ciniza

USGS Topo · Published 1966

About this map

The Ciniza Refinery stands as a focal point of industrial activity in this high-desert landscape, complete with its own Landing Strip, sewage disposal, and sludge pits situated just south of the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad line. The map illustrates a sharp transition from the industrial and transportation corridor along the South Fork Puerco River, where U.S. 66 and the new I-40 alignments converge, to the protected wilderness of the Cibola National Forest. To the south, the terrain rises toward Barometer Mountain and the prominent McKenzie Ridge, cut by deep drainages like Fourmile Canyon and Smith Canyon. Evidence of earlier infrastructure is visible in the Old Railroad Grade winding through the hills, while localized landmarks like the G.A. Ranch and Natural Lake provide points of reference for those tracing family history or land use in McKinley County during the mid-1960s.
