About this map

Gallup City sits at the northern edge of the Teton and Pondera county line, serving as a focal point for an area defined by its energy infrastructure and natural drainage. This 2014 survey reveals an extensive grid of service roads such as Oilfield Rd, Black Gold Rd, and Field Rd, indicating the deep ties between the local economy and the oil and gas industry. The land rises toward the Porter Bench, while a series of coulees and springs provide critical water sources in an otherwise arid landscape.

Water features often carry the names of early settlers or local families, such as Aldrich Spring, Healy Spring, and Noble Spring. These points, along with the Eyraud Lakes to the southeast, highlight the importance of specific water rights and landmarks in Montana's ranching and industrial country. The network of section-line roads and named coulees like Kropp Coulee and Maucki Coulee offers a clear view of how the modern landscape is partitioned for both extraction and agriculture.
