2023 Map of Fort Sumner East

About this map

The Pecos River carves a winding path through the Fort Sumner Valley, anchoring a landscape where historical burial grounds and modern irrigation systems coexist. This eastern portion of the county seat highlights the concentration of civic life at the De Baca County Courthouse, while the surrounding plains are marked by the Fort Sumner Main Canal and smaller waterways like Truchas Creek and Taiban Creek. The map is particularly notable for genealogists and local historians, as it identifies three distinct burial sites: the Fort Sumner Cem, the La Lande Cem, and the Old Fort Sumner Cem further south near the river. Beyond the main settlement, the area transitions to the small community of La Lande and features of the local ranching and transportation network, including Billy The Kid Rd and Sunnyside Springs.
