About this map

Cebollita Mesa and Indian Mesa define this high-desert landscape in Cibola County, where seasonal water sources dictate the movement of people and livestock. This 2010 survey highlights a sparse but critical network of water features including Laguna Honda, Laguna Bonita, and Long Lake. The presence of Cebollita Spring and Trasquila Tank suggests the traditional ranching and land-use patterns common in this part of New Mexico.

Transportation through this terrain is primarily facilitated by Indian Service Route 29 and Indian Service Route 37, which navigate the elevation changes between North Pelon and the surrounding canyons. The proximity of North Cebollita Mesa to Cañon Largo illustrates the geomorphology of the region, where broad mesas are dissected by long canyon systems, typical of the Colorado Plateau's southeastern edge.
