1963 Map of Bread Springs

About this map

Fort Wingate Army Depot dominates the eastern landscape of this McKinley County quadrangle, where the high desert terrain transitions into the Cibola National Forest. The map documents a rugged area southeast of Gallup defined by a series of prominent water features and livestock infrastructure, including Tah Ha Bah Well, Browns Well, and Blue M Well. These dispersed water sources speak to the essential nature of water management in this arid region, supporting local life at the Navajo Mission and Cresto Ranch.
