2020 Map of Gallegos

About this map

Gallegos sits at a crossroads in the northeastern New Mexico ranching country, where the arid high plains are carved by seasonal watercourses and low ridges. The settlement pattern here is defined by long, straight ranch roads like Red Rock Rd and Bryantine Rd that span the sections of the Public Land Survey System. The drainage network is central to the landscape, with the winding paths of Deposito Cr and Ramirez Draw providing the primary topography. In the southern portion of the quadrangle, the Gravel Hills rise above the surrounding terrain near Carros Cr, marking a distinct geological shift in this sparsely populated corner of Harding County.
