The Continental Divide winds through the high terrain of the Zuni Mountains within this portion of the Cibola National Forest. This high-altitude landscape is defined by its deep canyons and isolated mountain settlements, including Copperton and Sawyer. The presence of the Serna Homestead and Wilcoxson Ranch highlights the region's ranching legacy, where water sources like Serna Spring and Post Office Flat Spring were essential for survival. Modern recreation is centered around the Bluewater Creek Picnic Area, while the terrain remains dominated by the steep walls of Ojo Redondo Canyon and Copperton Canyon. This survey captures the intersection of forestry roads and remote homesteads in a region where the geography is dictated by the dramatic rise and fall of the Zuni range.
