1964 Map of Gallinas Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1967

About this map

Gallinas Peak anchors the high terrain of the Gallinas Mountains within this section of the Cibola National Forest. The landscape in the mid-1960s was defined by its water management and archaeological traces, featuring numerous specialized water sources such as Whiskey Well, Sawmill Well, and Jones Tanks. These wells and springs provided the necessary infrastructure for cattle ranching, visible at the Council Rock Ranch and nearby Council Rock. Evidence of much earlier habitation is marked by the Indian Ruins found near the head of Gallinas Canyon. Further south, the Medley Cem provides a specific point of interest for genealogists researching families tied to this remote stretch of Socorro County. The network of canyons, including Jaralosa and Deep Well Canyon, illustrates a rugged environment where survival and industry were inextricably linked to the scattered Arroyo and reliable springs like McGee Spring.
