About this map

Narbona Pass serves as a critical geographic focal point within the Chuska Mountains, where the modern corridor of Indian Svc Rte 32 navigates the high-elevation terrain. This 2020 map documents a landscape defined by its intricate drainage systems and numerous named water sources, such as Missionary Springs, Oak Spring, and Cottonwood Spring. These springs and seasonal washes like Tuntsa Wash and Naschitti Wash emphasize the historical and contemporary importance of water management in this arid region.

The boundary between San Juan and McKinley counties bisects the southern portion of the quadrangle, passing near Long Lake. The map illustrates a network of transit routes including Indian Svc Rte 30 and Long Lake Rd, which provide access to more isolated drainages like Bowl Canyon Cr and Tseanazti Cr. This survey provides a precise account of the Chuska range's topography and the distribution of vital natural springs.
