2013 Map of Laguna Honda

About this map

Cebollita Mesa dominates this high-altitude landscape in Cibola County, where the high desert terrain is punctuated by a series of isolated water sources and distinctive geological formations. The drainage of Cebollita Cr and the presence of Cebollita Spring indicate the critical role of water management in this arid environment, evidenced further by the scattered tanks and basins like Trasquila Tank. The area is marked by significant topographical relief, including the peaks of Pelon and N Pelon, and the deep recesses of Cebollita Canyon. This 2013 survey illustrates a region largely defined by its natural features and the seasonal presence of water in places like Laguna Honda and Indian Lake, rather than by modern township development. It serves as a detailed record of the landforms and essential water points in this portion of New Mexico.
