2021 Map of Gallup

About this map

The James River snakes through the heart of this Spink County landscape, carving a complex, meandering path across the glacial plains. The topography here is defined by this winding watercourse, which creates a distinct ribbon of wetlands and variable elevation against the otherwise orderly section lines of the Public Land Survey System. The small settlement of Gallup stands as a focal point in the western half of the quadrangle, situated along the intersection of 160th St and 387th Ave. This layout reflects the typical agricultural grid of South Dakota, where the rigid geometry of roads like 388th Ave and 158th St is only interrupted by the natural hydrologic flow of the river. The map provides a clear view of the rural infrastructure, including local routes like Co Rd 13 and Jefferson Dr, which connect the scattered farmsteads across townships t119n r64w, t119n r63w, t118n r64w, and t118n r63w.
