2020 Map of Bonner Lake

About this map

Fort Sumner Valley sits within a wide, arid landscape defined by the winding course of the Pecos River. This 2020 survey illustrates the irrigation infrastructure critical to the region, most notably the Fort Sumner Main Canal and the drainage of Taiban Cr. The topography is marked by distinctive landforms like the Mesita Negra in the south and the sharp incision of Cañon Blanco near the eastern boundary. Cultural history is etched into the local road names, with Billy The Kid Dr and Pat Garrett Dr referencing the area's frontier past. Local landmarks such as Bonner Lake and various spring-fed routes like James Spring Rd indicate where water sources dictated movement and settlement in this part of De Baca County.
