2011 Map of Gallo Mountains East

About this map

Gallo Mountains dominate this high-altitude landscape in New Mexico, where deep drainages like Telephone Canyon and Gallita Canyon carve through the high country. The terrain is defined by its water sources, both natural and man-made, which sustain life in this arid region. From the flowing Agua Fria Creek and Porcupine Spring to the isolated waters of White Rock Lake and Gallo Lake, these features are critical landmarks. Scattered throughout the territory are functional markers of ranching and land management, including the Davis Windmill, Sawmill Windmill, and First Windmill. The presence of the Armijo Campground and several Forest Service routes, such as FS RD 13a and FS RD 854, indicates the intersection of public recreation and forestry work. Near the southern edge of the survey, Bull Camp remains a notable point of interest, reflecting the region's enduring history of backcountry habitation.
