1961 Map of Fort Craig

USGS Topo · Published 1981

About this map

The Fort Craig (Ruins) and the adjacent Fort Craig Cem serve as the historical anchor for this arid reach of the Rio Grande valley. This 1961 survey, with 1980 revisions, details a landscape shaped by both military history and water management. The massive Pedro Armendaris No 34 Grant Boundary cuts diagonally across the terrain, marking the persistent influence of Spanish and Mexican land grants on New Mexico’s geography. To the east, the Rio Grande Conveyance Channel and a series of silt fences illustrate the engineering efforts to control the river's flow near the Elephant Butte Reservoir Boundary. Ranching presence is noted at the George Birner Ranch, while the natural drainage system of Milligan Gulch and Quates Canyon defines the local topography.
