1972 Map of Ojo Caliente Reservoir

About this map

The Zuni Indian Reservation landscape is defined by its vital water sources in an arid high-desert environment. The settlement of Ojo Caliente sits at the nexus of several seasonal drainages, most notably the Plumasano Wash and the Zuni River which enters from the northwest corner. This 1970s survey captures the region's hydrography before modern changes, centered on the Ojo Caliente Reservoir and several named water points such as Rainbow Spring and Sacred Spring. The terrain is characterized by broad washes like Willow Wash and prominent landforms such as Red Mesa to the east. An Old Indian Reservation Boundary cuts across the southern portion of the map, while the northern section is bisected by the McKinley Co Valencia Co line, illustrating the intersection of cultural, political, and natural borders.
