About this map

Atarque and its adjacent Atarque Cemetery sit in the northern reaches of this Cibola County landscape, where the drainage of Terrero Draw and Canon Ancho define the local topography. Further south, the community of Fence Lake serves as a central hub, anchored by the Fence Lake Post Office and connected by a network of local routes including County Rd-35.

The arid character of the high desert is evident in the reliance on specific water sources and landmarks, such as the East Malpais Windmill and scattered basins like Chaparral Lake and Dog Lake. Geologic features like the Red Cliffs and Los Pilares provide distinct navigational markers in a region where the road system, including Pine Hill Rd, follows the natural contours of draws like Jaralosa Draw.
