2020 Map of Gallup East

About this map

The Puerco River corridor defines the heart of this region, serving as the primary axis for both natural drainage and modern infrastructure. To the west, the city of Gallup serves as a significant hub, anchored by institutional landmarks such as the McKinley County Courthouse and the University of New Mexico - Gallup Campus. Moving eastward, the landscape transitions into a series of dramatic geological formations, most notably the high ridges of The Hogback and the striking White Cliffs. The settlement of Rehoboth sits nestled near the river forks, while the eastern reaches are characterized by numerous named canyons including Cliff Dwellers Canyon, Superman Canyon, and Black Diamond Canyon. This geography highlights the intersection of high-desert terrain with the development patterns of the early twenty-first century, where local roads like Hasler Valley Rd and Padre Canyon Rd navigate the rugged breaks between plateaus and the river valley.
