About this map

Cebollita Mesa dominates the northern reaches of this high-altitude landscape, where the plateau surface gives way to the drainage systems of West Canyon and Brazo Canyon. This 2020 topographical study of Cibola County illustrates a region defined by seasonal water management and Indigenous service infrastructure. The naming of Mecate Meadow suggests traditional ranching or equestrian roots in the heart of the quadrangle.

Strategic water resources are meticulously documented, including Cactus Lakes and various livestock reservoirs such as Summers Tank and Rock Tank. Connectivity across the rugged terrain is maintained through a network of roads including Indian Svc Rte 214 and Indian Svc Rte 21, which traverse the high ground near Cactus Point. The course of Blue Water Cr provides a primary hydrological reference as it cuts through the southern canyons.
