1965 Map of Gallegos Trading Post

USGS Topo · Published 1980

About this map

Gallegos Canyon and its many tributaries define this high-desert landscape in San Juan County, where mid-century energy development intersects with traditional Navajo Nation trading history. The sheet is dominated by an extensive network of extractive infrastructure, including numerous Gas Wells and Oil Wells connected by a web of service roads and pipelines. A critical link to the area's cultural history is marked at the Gallegos Trading Post (Site), situated near the canyon floor. Water management in this arid environment is evidenced by the presence of Pete Spring and isolated landmarks like the McKay Windmill and Gallegos Windmill. Later aerial revisions show the growth of regional utilities, including a Pumping Sta and expanded pipeline corridors that cross the rugged drainage of Cedar Canyon.
