About this map

Cebollita Peak and the high elevations of Cebollita Mesa dominate this New Mexico landscape in Cibola County. The terrain is defined by a series of deep drainages, including Baker Canyon, West Canyon, and Brazo Canyon, which reveal the complex hydrology of the high desert. Scattered across this arid country are numerous water management features essential for ranching and survival, such as Sawmill Tank, Dead Horse Tank, and Jug Tank.

The human imprint on this territory is sparse but specific, centered around locations like Hughes Place. Infrastructure for livestock is evident through a network of named water sources and pumping sites, including the Owsley Windmill, Wildcat Windmill, and Gibson Windmill. Access to these remote elevations is facilitated by Indian Service Route 29, which traverses the northern reaches of the quadrangle near Rodeo Lake and the Tub Lakes.
