About this map

Gallup serves as a northern anchor for this McKinley County landscape, where residential developments like Williams Acres and Crestview meet the high-desert terrain of the Colorado Plateau. The land is defined by a series of prominent geological landmarks including Torrivio Mesa, Refuge Rock, and Remnant Mesa, with drainage provided by the seasonal channels of Twin Buttes Wash, Bread Springs Wash, and Salt Water Wash.

A network of local roads and Indian Service routes, such as Indian Svc Rte 7025 and Co Rd 26, connects these scattered settlements and points of interest. This 2023 survey provides a contemporary perspective on the intersection of modern infrastructure and the enduring topography of the San Juan Basin, notably around the twin elevations of Twin Knoll Buttes and the winding corridor of Catalpa Canyon.
