1963 Map of Fort Stanton

USGS Topo · Published 1966

About this map

Fort Stanton serves as the focal point of this 1963 survey, where the historic military post's transition into a Hospital and Training School is clearly documented. The landscape is defined by the broad plateau of Fort Stanton Mesa and the winding course of the Rio Bonito, which cuts through the northern portion of the quadrangle. To the south, the terrain rises into the Lincoln National Forest, marked by landmarks like Hightower Mountain and Goat Mountain. Local life and transit are reflected in the presence of the San Ysidro Ch and Cem near the Rio Ruidoso, while a remote Landing Area and various Jeep Trails speak to the region's isolated geography. The map also captures several smaller agricultural and social outposts, including the Four K Ranch and Camp Sierra Blanca.
