About this map

Zuni Pueblo and the neighboring community of Zuni serve as the focal points of this McKinley County landscape, situated along the banks of the Zuni River. The terrain is defined by a series of significant drainage systems and mesas, most notably the prominent Dowa Yalanne mesa to the southeast. The area's water management is visible through Black Rock Reservoir and the nearby Eustace Lake, which support the local environment and settlement at Black Rock.

The map reveals a transition from the structured residential street grids of the pueblo, featuring names like Shalako Dr and Pincion St, to the more expansive rangeland surrounding it. Numerous named canyons and draws, such as Galestina Canyon, Peach Orchard Draw, and Stinking Water Draw, illustrate the complex hydrology of the high desert. To the west, Trapped Rock Draw and Prairie Dog Draw lead away from the river valley into the surrounding plateau.
