1972 Map of Plumasano Basin

USGS Topo · Published 1976

About this map

The Zuni Indian Reservation occupies the central and northern reaches of this New Mexico landscape, characterized by the expansive Plumasano Basin. Surveyed in the early 1970s, the map delineates significant administrative and historical markers, including the Old Indian Reservation Boundary and the dividing line between Mc Kinley and Valencia Counties. The terrain is defined by prominent high ground such as Red Mesa and Pie Mesa, which overlook a network of seasonal watercourses. Drainage patterns are established by Plumasano Wash, Willow Wash, and Thompson Draw, reflecting the arid hydrology of the region. These features, along with isolated landmarks like Spring in Mullen Canyon, provide essential context for understanding the historic land use and tribal geography of this high-desert territory.
