1963 Map of Ramah

About this map

Ramah serves as the focal point of this high-desert landscape in Western New Mexico, situated within the Cebolla Valley just west of the Ramah Indian Area. The village is anchored by local heritage sites including the Ramah Cem and the Mormon Colony Cem, reflecting the area's early settlement history. Significant water management is evident at the Ramah Reservoir, which sits at the base of the prominent geological formation known as The Hogback. The terrain to the north and east transitions into the Cibola National Forest, where isolated homesteads and livestock operations like Old Bond Ranch, Dent Ranch, and Dan Valley are tucked into canyons such as Blind Canyon and Pipkin Canyon. The map reveals a network of canyons and mesas, including Wild Sheep Mesa and Harris Valley, alongside landmarks like The Falls on Cebolla Creek.
