About this map

Gallina serves as the primary settlement on this northern New Mexico landscape, situated where the Rio Gallina emerges from the high country. The community is anchored by civic and spiritual landmarks including the High Sch, Capulin Sch, and Santo Niño Ch, while the nearby Gallina Plaza and Austin Ranch indicate the distributed nature of local habitation during the 1960s. North of the village, Cerro Blanco and Capulin Peak overlook the valley, while Mesa Gurule rises to the east.

Substantial portions of the map are dedicated to the Santa Fe National Forest and the San Pedro Parks Wilderness. This protected area is characterized by a dense network of watercourses like Rio Capulin and Cecilia Creek. The presence of the Upper Gallina River Trail and the San Pedro Parks Trail through the San Pedro Mountains highlights the era's focus on backcountry access and resource management within the high-elevation wilderness.
