2023 Map of Bonner Lake

About this map

Fort Sumner Valley and the wandering course of the Pecos River define this stretch of De Baca County. This agricultural and ranching landscape is heavily influenced by the Fort Sumner Main Canal, which draws water from the river to support the valley. To the east, the terrain rises toward the high plains, cut by Taiban Creek and the deep drainage of Cañon Blanco. Notable landmarks include the prominent elevation of Mesita Negra in the southwest and the small Bonner Lake at the southeastern edge. The local road network reflects the area's colorful frontier history and cattle ranching roots, with routes such as Billy The Kid Dr, Pat Garrett Dr, and Lone Wolf Rd connecting the scattered homesteads and pastures across the valley floor.
