1981 Map of Gallo Mountains East

USGS Topo · Published 1981

About this map

Gallo Mountains define this high-altitude landscape in western New Mexico, where the Apache National Forest dominates the terrain. This 1981 edition shows a region managed for seasonal resource use and ranching, evidenced by the high density of named water sources like Davis Windmill and the Old State Tank. The map reveals a complex network of springs, such as Armijo Spring and Malpais Spring, which were vital for sustaining livestock and wildlife across the dry canyons. Geographically, the area is dissected by numerous drainages including Gallita Canyon and Harris Canyon. These deep cuts, along with Agua Fria Mountain, highlight a landscape where human passage was largely limited to a network of jeep trails and pack trails, tracing a pattern of land use that prioritized access to reliable water in a challenging environment.
