About this map

Cebolla and the nearby settlement of Rincon Blanco anchor this high-altitude landscape in the northern Rio Arriba County region. The terrain is defined by the drainage systems of Rio Nutrias and Rio Cebolla, which wind through the southwestern portion of the Carson National Forest. The map detail reveals a sophisticated water management network of highland tanks and springs, such as Turkey Spring and Vega Paz Tank, essential for supporting livestock and land use in this arid environment.

Industrial activity and recreation are both evident on the landscape, from the Duke Pit to the numerous water bodies like Trout Lakes and Tonita Lake. Local transportation is facilitated by named routes such as Trout Lakes Rd and Vega Paz, providing access to remote points like Red Hill and the seasonal drainages of Cañada de Bano. The intricate grid of the Public Land Survey System overlays these natural features, marking sections across several townships and ranges.
