About this map

Gallina sits at the intersection of mountain and mesa in Rio Arriba County, serving as a focal point for the surrounding high-elevation terrain. This modern survey illustrates a landscape defined by the drainage systems of Rio Gallina and Rio Capulin, where small settlements like Capulin and Cañoncito de los Cordovas are linked by rural routes like French Mesa Rd. The southwestern portion of the map is dominated by the high-altitude topography of the Santa Fe National Forest, containing the San Pedro Mountains and the prominent San Pedro Peaks. Local history and geography are preserved through family-named landmarks such as Cañada Gurule and Mesa Gurule. For those navigating the backcountry, the Continental Divide National Scenic Trail winds through the center of the map, passing significant geological markers like Red Rock Cliff and crossing numerous drainages including Jose Miguel Cr and Salitral Cr.
