1981 Map of Zuni

USGS Topo · Published 1991

About this map

The Zuni Indian Reservation and the Ramah Navajo Indian Reservation dominate this high-desert landscape of western New Mexico, revealing a complex intersection of tribal lands, military history, and public forests. The terrain is defined by the prominent ridge of The Hogback and the heights of the Zuni Mountains, where the Continental Divide winds through the Cibola National Forest. Transportation corridors follow ancient paths and modern engineering, with the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad and Interstate 40 skirting the northern boundary near settlements like Manuelito and Coolidge. Water management is critical in this arid environment, evidenced by the Nutria Reservoirs, Black Rock Reservoir, and Bluewater Lake. To the south, the presence of El Morro National Monument and the historic Fort Wingate Army Depot emphasize the area's long-standing strategic and cultural importance.
