About this map

Bread Springs and the southern outskirts of Gallup define this high-desert landscape in McKinley County. The terrain is marked by significant geological features including the prominent ridgeline of The Hogback and the isolated formation of Umbrella Rock. To the southeast, the boundary of the Cibola National Forest encompasses a landscape of shifting elevations and seasonal watercourses such as Pine Tree Wash and Bread Springs Wash.

Rural life is represented by Cresto Ranch and the community of Sundance, connected by a network of local routes like Locust Grove Rd and Navajo Service Route 7047. The topography reveals a complex system of drainages and valleys, including the curiously named Fenced-Up-Horse Valley and the winding Peretti Canyon. This map provides a detailed view of the transition from the municipal grid of Gallup to the open ranching and forest lands of the Colorado Plateau.
