Seboyeta and the nearby village of Bibo occupy a dramatic canyon landscape where the high plateaus of Mesa Chivato meet the drainage of Seboyetita Creek. This 1957 field survey captures the intersection of ancient land grants and reservation boundaries, prominently featuring the Laguna Indian Reservation and the extensive Paguate Purchase. The settlement pattern follows the water, with the town of Paguate and the smaller Rancho Chupadero situated along the seasonal flows of Rio Paguate and Encinal Creek. The map provides a detailed record of local topography and land use in this part of New Mexico before later 20th-century developments, including the location of a local Cemetery and the distinctive landforms of Seboyeta Canyon and Bear Canyon.
