1972 Map of Upper Galestina Canyon

USGS Topo · Published 1976

About this map

The Zuni Indian Reservation dominates this 1970s landscape, where the dramatic incision of Galestina Canyon snakes across the high plateau. This survey provides a detailed look at the resource management and water infrastructure of the era, documenting features like the Upper Galestina No 1A Reservoir and the Upper Galestina No 7 Reservoir. These small impoundments, alongside landmarks such as the ECW No 7 Windmill, suggest a pastoral economy reliant on carefully managed water sources in an arid environment. The map also records the boundary line between McKinley and Valencia counties, cutting through a terrain of deep drainage systems like Trujillo Draw and Guillermo Canyon. A single Quarry is the primary industrial marker in a region otherwise defined by its topography and reservation lands.
