2017 Map of Nicoll Lake

About this map

Pinehill sits near the northern boundary of this high-altitude landscape where the borders of McKinley Co and Cibola Co meet. The geography is defined by a series of significant drainage systems, including the Rio Pescado and several named draws that navigate the undulating terrain, such as Loma del Medio Draw and Atarque Draw. The eastern portion of the sheet is marked by the presence of Nicoll Lake, a rare water feature in this arid environment. The road network reflects a specialized infrastructure of Indian Service Routes and Bureau of Indian Affairs roads, such as Indian Svc Rte 172 and BIA Rd 114. Settlement patterns are modern but sparse, with residential developments appearing along descriptive local ways like Easy Living Rd and Soaring Hawk Ln, indicating the contemporary character of this high-country region.
