About this map

Cebollita Peak rises as the prominent landmark of this high-altitude landscape, part of a sprawling geological formation known as Cebollita Mesa. Located within the protected Cebolla Wilderness, the terrain is defined by a series of deep cuts including Cebolla Canyon, West Canyon, and Brazo Canyon. These canyons and the surrounding mesas provide a distinct view of the hydrological network used for livestock and local land management in this part of New Mexico.

Water sources are scattered throughout the territory, with several named features like Rodeo Lake, Tub Lakes, and Middle Lake appearing on the higher plateaus. Man-made catchments such as Sawmill Tank, Dead Horse Tank, and Jug Tank indicate the historical and ongoing importance of water management in this arid environment. The presence of Indian Svc Rte 37 along the northern edge serves as a primary access point into this remote wilderness area.
