2017 Map of Gallinas Peak

About this map

Gallinas Peak and the surrounding Gallinas Mountains dominate this high-desert landscape in Cibola National Forest. The 2017 survey details a network of forest service roads including Forest Rd 469 and Forest Rd 10 Rd that navigate the complex drainage systems of Gallinas Canyon and McGee Canyon. For researchers and historians, the presence of the Medley Cem in the southeastern quadrant provides a specific site of genealogical interest amid the vast public lands. The water management on this arid terrain is meticulously documented through features such as Jones Tanks, Heifer Well, and Rock Header Tank, illustrating the ongoing importance of livestock and resource infrastructure. Seasonal water movements are traced through the Council Rock Arroyo and Jardosa Cr, while McGee Spring remains a notable geographic anchor.
