About this map

Laguna Indian Reservation lands dominate this mid-century landscape, where traditional settlements and agricultural boundaries reflect generations of habitation. The village of Seboyeta sits at the foot of Seboyeta Canyon, connected to the neighboring hamlet of Bibo along the banks of Seboyeta Creek. Further south, the settlement of Paguate is established near the Rio Paguate, marking a distinct pocket of activity within the wider Paguate Purchase area.

The terrain is defined by dramatic elevation changes, from the heights of Mesa Chivato and La Mesa down to the carved drainages of Encinal Creek and Seboyetita Creek. Notable landmarks for local historians include a Cemetery near Bibo and the isolated Rancho Chupadero. This survey captures the complex intersection of land grants and reservation boundaries, such as the Paguate Purchase Boundary, before modern development altered these rural corridors.
