El Malpais National Monument dominates this high-desert landscape in Cibola County, where volcanic formations meet the rising cliffs of Cebollita Mesa. The map detail follows the path of NM-117 as it skirts the eastern edge of the lava beds, passing through The Narrows and beneath the significant La Ventana Natural Arch. This corridor represents a vital transition between the jagged terrain of The Malpais and the grazing lands of North Pasture.
