About this map

Cibola National Forest encompasses a significant portion of this landscape, where high-desert canyons and drainage systems define the human footprint. The map documents scattered ranching outposts and isolated structures such as White House Ranch, McCord Place, and Box Bar Place, which are situated along the ephemeral course of Alamosita Cr. These locations, along with the Grapevine Cabin, suggest a history of range management and seasonal habitation in a region where water is a critical resource.

Water infrastructure is further marked by the presence of Chriswell Windmill, Buds Windmill, and the Alkali Tank. The terrain is deeply incised by numerous named drainages, including Pine Springs Canyon, Rock House Canyon, and Remuda Canyon, which lead toward the Rio Salado in the northwest. This network of canyons and the prominent Bell Mtn illustrate the complex topography that early roads like Forest Road 03 and Forest Rd 68 navigate to connect these remote sites.
