1961 Map of Fort Craig

USGS Topo · Published 1964

About this map

Fort Craig (Ruins) and its associated Fort Craig Cem stand as the primary historical landmarks in this desert landscape within the Pedro Armendaris Grant No 34. The survey details a region defined by complex drainage patterns, including Milligan Gulch, Spikey Arroyo, and Rocky Arroyo, which cut through the arid terrain toward the Rio Grande. Along the river's edge, the presence of a Conveyance Channel and a series of Silt Fences indicates mid-century water management efforts near the Elephant Butte Reservoir Boundary. Civil infrastructure is sparse, represented by isolated landmarks such as Stone Well, Highway Well, and the George Birner Ranch. This 1961 field-checked map provides an essential record of the military ruins and ranching life in Socorro County before modern changes to the Rio Grande's floodplain.
