Pinehaven (Ruins) and the small settlement of Nelson anchor this mid-century look at McKinley County, where the landscape is defined by the intersection of the Cibola National Forest and the Zuni Indian Reservation. The mapping captures a network of essential water sources in an arid environment, notably the Vander Wagen Reservoir No 1, Vander Wagen Reservoir No 2, and Pintos Lake. This 1963 field-checked data provides an important record for genealogists and local historians, locating the Navajo Ch and Pinehaven Cem near the central drainage of Whitewater Arroyo. The presence of Coal Mine Canyon and Pine Tree Wash suggests the rugged drainage patterns that dictated early road placement and land use before subsequent development altered the local geography.
