2010 Map of Gallo Spring Canyon

About this map

Gallo Spring Canyon and the surrounding high desert of Lincoln County are defined by a complex network of drainage systems and isolated landforms. Small-scale settlement patterns are evident near the southern boundary at Ryberg Ranch and the locality of Raney, where local roads intersect the deeper canyon floors. The landscape is dominated by topographical features like Rattlesnake Hill and Round Top, while water courses such as Cola del Gallo Arroyo and Gallo Canyon carve through the terrain. This survey provides an exact look at the rural infrastructure of the area during the early 21st century, detailing the specific canyons like Taylor Canyon and Hodge Canyon that dictate movement through this part of New Mexico.
