Ancient Pueblo Town of Zuni, Western New Mexico, "In this town there may be some 200 houses, all compassed with walls; and I think that with the rest of the houses, which are not so walled, there may be some 500. They are very excellent, good houses, of three or four or five lofts high, wherein are good lodgings and fair chambers, with ladders instead of stairs. The people of this town seem to me of reasonable stature and witty. In this place is found some quantity of gold and silver, very good; also turquoise ear-rings, combs, and tablets set with turquoise. That which these Indians worship is the water, for they say it causeth their corn to grow.

The county from the air

Flown by the U.S. Geological Survey between 1937 and 1989, the Aerial Photo Single Frames collection is the definitive mid-century view of the land: fields, roads and rivers as the camera saw them. The Survey holds 7,017 frames inside the rectangle that bounds this county; the 48 frames below were taken over the county itself, chosen across the decades of flights (at most four a year from that rectangle), so one flight cannot crowd out the rest. The full set is free to browse and download at EarthExplorer under the dataset Aerial Photo Single Frames.

When	Event	Place named	Harm	What the report says
July 2008	Flash Flood	Gamerco	3 killed, $40,000	The heavy rain caused water up to three feet deep to flow through downtown Gallup, on either side of Interstate 40. A rock slide occurred near the intersection of West Jefferson Avenue and Highway 491, causing a large boulder to crush three transients who were seeking shelter from the rain. A section of Highway 491 was also flooded 9 miles north of Gallup. A number of homes were flooded in Gallup, including some as far south as Nizhona Boulevard.

Officials reported other people escaping without injuries as their vehicles also became trapped at flooded road crossings across west central and northwest McKinley County. A clogged drainage ditch also overflowed onto Interstate 40 near Gallup with mud and debris causing a closure of the westbound lanes. Several people escaped without injury when a mobile home located next to an arroyo tipped as storm water undercut the sandy bank of the arroyo. In general, storms yielded only about one half inch to three quarters inch of rain in about 30 minutes, but it was enough to fill numerous small arroyos and ditches with shallow and fast moving water.
September 1997	Flash Flood	Gallup	1 killed, 1 hurt	A 30-year man drowned while trying to cross the Hunters Point arroyo on Navajo Tribal lands southwest of Gallup.

His body was recovered 7 miles downstream.

August 2010	Flash Flood	Rehoboth	$120,000	After the Church Rock bridge at Telstar Road collapsed July 31st, a temporary bridge was put in place.
