About this map

The Continental Divide winds through this high-altitude landscape in the Zuni Mountains, marking a primary geographic spine within the Cibola National Forest. The map documents a rugged terrain defined by a network of drainage systems and significant geological breaks, including The Notches, Little Notch, and Big Notch. Named landmarks such as Lookout Mountain Rim and Lookout Mtn dominate the northern horizons, overlooking numerous canyons like Kettner Canyon and Monighan Canyon.

Water sources are vital and scarce markers on this land, with locations like Muerto Spring, Wells Spring, and Camp Two Spring providing essential reference points for those navigating the backcountry. The small settlement of Sawyer sits near the eastern edge, connected by a network of forest routes such as Forest RD 50. This survey offers a precise look at the township and range boundaries of Eastern Navajo Agency just after the first decade of the 21st century.
