2023 Map of Prewitt

About this map

Prewitt serves as the primary focal point along the northern corridor of this landscape, where the modern transport network meets the rising terrain of the Zuni Mountains. To the south, the expansion of the Cibola National Forest envelopes the high ground of Salitre Mesa, a prominent landform defined by deeply incised drainage systems like Reynolds Draw. This 2023 survey illustrates the residential clusters that have developed near the shores of Bluewater Lake, including Stoneridge and Las Tusas, contrasting the established community of Homer C Jones further north. The map documents an intricate network of local and resource roads such as Natural Bridge Rd and Old Windmill Trl, which navigate the transition from the arid arroyo bottoms to the timbered highlands. The boundary between McKinley and Cibola Counties bisects the region, marking an administrative divide across a shared geography of high-desert mesas and vital watercourses like Bluewater Creek.
