1968 Map of Bonner Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

The Pecos River carves a fertile corridor through De Baca County in the late 1960s, anchoring the agricultural life of the Fort Sumner Valley. This survey captures the complex irrigation and water management systems necessary for ranching and farming in the high plains, featuring the Main Canal and a Gaging Sta positioned where Taiban Creek meets the river. The landscape is defined by stark contrasts, from the riparian bottomlands to the dramatic rise of Mesita Negra and the drainage of Cañon Blanco. Landowners and researchers will find the fine red dashed lines indicating selected fence lines particularly useful for tracing historical property boundaries. To the southeast, Bonner Lake sits as a significant water feature amidst the arid terrain, while scattered wells and a Gravel Pit highlight the small-scale infrastructure supporting the local economy during this era.
