1955 Map of Cebolla

About this map

Cebolla and the surrounding high-altitude terrain of Rio Arriba County are captured here during a mid-century period of land use dominated by ranching, logging, and seasonal mountain recreation. The settlement at Cebolla is anchored by the San Antonio Ch, while the northern peaks and canyons show the seasonal infrastructure of high-country work, including the Johnson Cow Camp and Crawthner Cow Camp. Economic activity in these forested uplands is evidenced by the Hooker Sawmill and the Dandee Mine, tucked into the folds of the Tierra Amarilla Grant.
