About this map

Gallup serves as the focal point of this region, where the BNSF Railway and Rte 66 follow the natural corridor of the Puerco River. The landscape is defined by massive geological formations, notably The Hogback and the striking White Cliffs that overlook the high desert terrain. Local institutions and community hubs are well-documented, including the Univ of New Mexico-Gallup Campus and the Rehoboth Ch, situated near the settlement of Rehoboth.

Canyons carve into the mesas north of the rail line, with names reflecting early land use and local industry, such as Black Diamond Canyon, Gibson Canyon, and Heaton Canyon. The map reveals the intricate network of residential streets in eastern Gallup, transitioning into more open ranch and mission lands toward Church Rock and Zuni. This survey provides a clear look at the intersection of traditional Navajo lands, mission history, and the transportation infrastructure essential to the American Southwest.
