1999 Map of Gallo Mountains West

USGS Topo · Published 2002

About this map

The Continental Divide winds through this high-elevation landscape in Catron County, New Mexico, marking the structural spine of the Gallo Mountains. This region, within the Apache National Forest, is defined by a dense network of drainages and springs that support livestock and local ecology. Named features like Fox Mtn and Gallo Peak rise above the complex system of canyons, including Lawson Canyon and Hardcastle Canyon. Water management is central to the land's utility, evidenced by the numerous tanks and windmills such as Candy Windmill and Uno Pino Windmill scattered across the high flats. The presence of Jewett Mesa and the Jewett Gap suggest a reliance on these natural corridors for movement through the high country, while the Roadside Park near the mountains' edge indicates accessible recreation within the forest boundaries.
