1963 Map of Gallup East

USGS Topo · Published 1980

About this map

The striking geological ridge of The Hogback bisects this landscape, creating a dramatic visual boundary between the urban growth of Gallup and the rugged canyonlands to the east. By the early 1960s, the industrial footprint of the region was clearly defined by coal mining and transport, with several operations such as Heaton Mine, Navajo Mine, and the Gibson Mine clustered along the northern ridges. The Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad serves as the primary corridor through the Puerco River valley, paralleled by the path of Route 66.
