"Gallup New Mexico - The Indian Capital",

This beautiful pictorial map by Santa Fe-based artist Louis Ewing centers on Gallup, New Mexico, a city nicknamed the "Indian Capital of the World" due to its proximity to the Navajo reservation and its significant Native American population. It extends to show the Four Corners, showing Mesa Verde in Colorado, Rainbow Bridge in Utah, and Monument Valley, Hopi villages, and the Painted Desert and Petrified Forest in Arizona, all of which are illustrated. Route 66 cuts through the center of the map. Various towns, pueblos, and attractions are named. The illustrations include Hopi snake dancers, Aztec ruins, a traditional Zuni Shalako, an Indigenous woman weaving a rug, and an artisan at work. A striking map celebrating the Indigenous cultures of the Southwest. On verso is a smaller pictorial map (10.4 x 7.6") delineating the paved and unsurfaced roads of the region as well as black & white photos and text on the various sites of the region. Self-folds into a brochure (3.7 x 8.0") with a photo of a Zuni maiden and an alternate title: A Pictorial Map of Gallup New Mexico.
