1967 Map of Nicoll Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1981

About this map

Candy Kitchen and the surrounding Ramah Indian Area define this high-elevation landscape along the border of McKinley and Cibola counties. The terrain is characterized by a complex network of seasonal drainage channels, including Horse Draw, White Draw, and Crockett Draw, which carve through the arid topography toward Nicoll Lake. The presence of the Ramah Navajo Community Center in the northeast quadrant highlights the importance of this region as a center for the local Navajo community during the mid-to-late 20th century. Scattered wells and ephemeral watercourses like Loma del Draw and Terrero Draw suggest a landscape where water management was critical for ranching or subsistence. This 1967 survey, with 1978 revisions, provides a clear record of the rural infrastructure and boundary lines in a culturally significant portion of New Mexico.
