2020 Map of Indian Bathtub

About this map

Cejita Cem sits as a solitary point of local history in this high plains landscape of Harding County. The terrain is defined by the ephemeral drainage of Arroyo de la Cejita, which winds through a series of section lines and range boundaries. This modern survey illustrates the sparse, ranch-oriented settlement pattern characteristic of northeast New Mexico, where long-established family names are preserved on tracks like Hopson Rd and Culbertson Rd. In the southern portion of the quadrangle, the namesake Indian Bathtub landform and the Salt Lakes indicate the unique hydrology of this arid region. The network of unpaved routes, including Salt Lakes Rd and S Creek Ln, provides a clear view of how land access and property divisions remain tied to the original township and range grid.
