2020 Map of Gallinas Peak

About this map

Gallinas Peak rises as the central landmark of the Gallinas Mountains, a high-elevation landscape within the Cibola National Forest. The 2020 terrain is defined by a series of drainages and seasonal water sources essential for land management and cattle ranching in Socorro County. To the east of the peak, Deep Well Canyon and Gallinas Canyon carve through the mountains, while scattered infrastructure like Jones Tanks, Gallinas Trick Tank, and Rock Header Tank indicate the ongoing human effort to manage water in this arid environment. Traces of local family history appear at the Medley Cem in the eastern foothills. The map details an extensive network of forestry routes, including Forest Rd 469 and Forest 10 Rd, which provide access to reliable points like McGee Spring and Gallinas Spring.
