About this map

The Rio San Jose corridor in Cibola County defines this New Mexico landscape, serving as the primary artery for both transportation and settlement. The valley floor is home to several distinct communities, including McCartys Village and Anzac Village, while McCartys Siding indicates the region's historical connection to the railroad. To the north, the elevation rises sharply toward Horace Mesa and Tafoya Canyon, where the rugged geography is marked by isolated water sources like Lane Spring.

South of the river, the terrain transitions into a complex of canyons and mesas, such as Cañon Largo and Mc-Carty Mesa. Local ranching and tribal infrastructure are evidenced by the presence of Chief Rancho, Lane Ranch, and specialized roads like Indian Service Route 381. This 2013 survey provides a clear view of how modern designations, like NM-124, overlay older paths and natural landmarks like Canipa Spring and Cañon de Conejo.
