2010 Map of Fort Craig

About this map

The Rio Grande corridor in Socorro County is defined by its arid drainage networks and remnants of pioneer-era settlement as seen in this 2010 survey. Arroyos and gulches like Rocky Arroyo, Spikey Arroyo, and Milligan Gulch carve through the landscape, funneling seasonal runoff toward the river. Near the eastern edge of the map, the Fort Craig Cemetery marks the enduring legacy of the nearby historic military outpost, while the George Birner Ranch highlights the region's ranching heritage. Transportation infrastructure is a central theme here, with Fort Craig Rd providing access to historical sites and the San Marcial Interchange connecting the desert terrain to the interstate system. This map captures a landscape where modern transit corridors intersect with traditional land use and historic markers in the high desert.
