About this map

Basgal Place and Polich Place anchor the high desert ranching landscape of the Zuni Mountains on this 2013 survey. The terrain is defined by the Continental Divide, which separates the drainage of Smith Canyon and Foster Canyon from the lower basins. The map captures a high-altitude agricultural and grazing network, marked by numerous cattle tanks such as Stump Tank and Rim Site Tank that provide vital water in a region where seasonal flows like Rio Nutria and Agua Remora are the primary watercourses. This area, largely within the Cibola National Forest, shows established homesteads including Navarre Place and the Silva Ranch situated along the winding paths of Co RD 50, reflecting the long-standing family ranching traditions along the McKinley and Cibola county lines.
