1963 Map of Gallup East

USGS Topo · Published 1967

About this map

The Hogback dominates the central topography of this mid-1960s survey, a sharp geological spine that divides the developing city of Gallup from the industrial and mission lands to the east. The map captures the city's eastward expansion, showing residential grids around Aztec Ave and Wilson Ave transitioning into a landscape heavily shaped by extraction. The northern and eastern sectors are dotted with significant mining operations, including the Heaton Mine, Weaver Mine, and Gibson Mine, illustrating the region's historical dependence on coal and minerals. Along the corridor of the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad, the community of Rehoboth appears with its mission-associated features like the Rehoboth Cem and a dedicated hospital. This document provides a detailed look at the intersection of Navajo Nation borders, industrial mining, and the growth of a vital New Mexico transportation hub.
