About this map

The Malpais Lava dominates the northeastern terrain of this Cibola County landscape, contrasting sharply with the deep-cut drainages of Zuni Canyon and Limekiln Canyon within the Cibola National Forest. The settlement of Milan and the rail stop at Toltec serve as the primary hubs of activity along the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe line.

Evidence of the area's agricultural and industrial infrastructure is visible through the Middle Ditch and Flood Control Drain systems near the Rio San Jose. Local family history is preserved at the Bluewater Cemetery and various homesteads such as Schneemann Ranch and Harding Ranch. The map also captures mid-century leisure and utility sites, including a Drive-in Theater, a Golf Course, and the Grants Municipal Airport near the southern boundary.
