El Malpais National Monument dominates the northern landscape of this region, preserving the distinctive geological formations of The Malpais. The map details a high-desert environment where ranching operations are supported by remote infrastructure, including Rock Tank Windmill and Sand Windmill. Settlement patterns are concentrated at the York Ranch and York Headquarters, reflecting the localized nature of human activity in this corner of Cibola County. The transportation network is defined by a few key corridors such as NM-117 and Pie Town Rd, which traverse the open terrain near Goat Tank Canyon. This 2013 survey captures the intersection of federal protected lands and private ranching interests, providing a clear record of land use and water management in a demanding New Mexico landscape.
