About this map

Cebolla Wilderness dominates the northern reaches of this Cibola County landscape, where the high desert terrain transitions into a complex system of plateaus and drainage basins. The area is characterized by massive landforms such as North Cebollita Mesa and the expansive Cebollita Mesa to the south. Water is a defining but sparse element in this environment, represented by essential catchments and seasonal bodies like Trasquila Tank, Laguna Honda, and Laguna Bonita.

Remote service routes, including Indian Svc Rte 29 and Indian Svc Rte 37, provide the only modern tracks through a region shaped by erosional features like Cebollita Canyon and Cañon Largo. For the researcher, the map details the intricate topography of the Acoma Plateau region, marking isolated landmarks like Pelon and Indian Mesa that served as critical navigational points in the high New Mexico desert.
