2013 Map of Zuni

About this map

Zuni Pueblo and the surrounding high desert of McKinley County are the focus of this 2013 survey, detailing the traditional heart of the Zuni people. The landscape is defined by massive mesas and intricate drainage systems, most notably the towering Dowa Yalanne which overlooks the river valley. The Zuni River winds through the center of the sheet, feeding the Black Rock Reservoir near the settlement of Black Rock. The map illustrates the contemporary infrastructure of the Pueblo, including the Black Rock Airport and a dense network of local roads such as Shalako Drive and Pia Mesa Road. Surrounding the residential areas are numerous named topographical features like Galestina Canyon, Peach Orchard Draw, and Stinking Water Draw, reflecting a deep connection to the specific geography of the Zuni Reservation.
