2017 Map of Page

About this map

The Continental Divide winds through this high-altitude landscape in McKinley and Cibola Counties, anchoring a rugged terrain defined by the Zuni Mountains and the Cibola National Forest. The settlement of Page sits centrally, surrounded by a complex system of water management features including Natural Lake, Basgal Tank, and the various Hausner Tanks. This 2017 survey illustrates the enduring reliance on these collection points in an arid environment, where drainage follows paths like the Rio Nutria and through deep incisions such as Nutria Canyon and Smith Canyon. Significant geological and topographical markers, including McKenzie Ridge, Oso Ridge, and the expansive McQue Flat, provide a detailed look at the basin-and-range character of the region. Local infrastructure is represented by a network of unimproved roads like Co Rd 50 and Co Rd 12, which connect the isolated stock tanks and flats throughout the area.
