About this map

Cibola National Forest defines the southern half of this landscape, where the high-altitude terrain of the Zuni Mountains transitions toward the Bluewater Lake basin. This 2013 survey illustrates a region shaped by ranching and seasonal habitation, evidenced by names like Ford Ranch, Stallings, and the Cottonwood Gulch Camp. The geography is characterized by deep drainage systems such as Pine Canyon and Las Tusas Valley, which feed into Cottonwood Cr and Sawyer Cr.

The eastern portion of the map reveals the residential development of Bluewater Acres, featuring a dense network of local roads including Marlin Dr and Swordfish Dr. Rural infrastructure is further represented by water management features like the Tusas Mesa Stock Tank, essential for sustaining livestock in this arid environment. The boundary between McKinley County and Cibola County bisects the area, highlighting the administrative divisions across this high-desert plateau.
