1983 Map of Cebolla

About this map

Cebolla and the high-elevation terrain of Rio Arriba County are the focus of this 1983 survey. The landscape is defined by the expansive Carson National Forest and the historical Tierra Amarilla Grant Boundary, showing a complex system of water rights and land use. High-country drainage is captured through a network of creeks and rivers, including Rio Nutrias and Rio Cebolla, which flow through steep canyons like the Cañada del Baño. The presence of several named springs, such as Dulce Spring, Amador Spring, and Fuertes Spring, highlights the critical importance of water sources in this northern New Mexico environment. Local industry and land modification are noted at a Gravel Pit near the river, while the settlement at Tonita and the recreation-focused Trout Lakes offer a look at the scattered human geography in this remote mountain region.
