1892 Map of Wingate

About this map

Fort Wingate serves as a central anchor in this late nineteenth-century landscape, situated along a vital transportation corridor defined by the Atlantic and Pacific Railroad. The rail line connects several early settlements including Gallup, Coolidge, and Manuelito, while local Coal deposits near Gallup point to the emerging industrial character of the region. The map highlights the intersection of military, indigenous, and settler presence, clearly marking the Navajo Indian Res. Line and established communities such as Zuni and Old Zuni.
