1892 Map of Wingate

USGS Topo · Published 1937

About this map

Fort Wingate serves as a central landmark in this late 19th-century survey of western New Mexico, situated along the vital corridor of the Atlantic and Pacific Railroad. This transportation artery connects a series of emerging rail settlements such as Gallup, Manuelito, and Coolidge, while weaving through a landscape defined by significant cultural and geological markers. The presence of Old Zuni and the modern Zuni pueblo near the Zuni Buttes reflects the deep indigenous heritage of the region, further evidenced by the Navajo Indian Res. Line and the historic Inscription Rock. The map illustrates a transitional era where military outposts and coal mining operations near Gallup coexist with traditional ranching at spots like Milk Ranch and Crane Ranch. Notable terrain features like Navajo Church and the peaks of the Chuska Mountains provide orientation across the high plateau country of Bernalillo and Valencia counties.
