About this map

Cebolla sits at the intersection of local routes within the high-elevation terrain of Rio Arriba County, surrounded by the extensive borders of the Carson National Forest. This region is defined by an intricate network of waterways and drainage systems, including the Rio Nutrias in the north and the Rio Cebolla in the central portion of the sheet. The settlement area includes the Cebolla Cem, providing a focal point for genealogical research in this part of New Mexico.

The landscape is dotted with varied water features ranging from natural basins like Hidden Lake and Burns Lake to numerous livestock or irrigation tanks such as Nutrias Tank and Beaver Tank. Evidence of local industry is present at the Duke Pit, while several named canyons like Cañada de Bano and Cañada Fuertes dictate the movement of roads and trails through the territory. The presence of Amador Spring and Dulce Spring further illustrates the critical role of water sources in this high-altitude environment.
