1968 Map of Fort Sumner East

USGS Topo · Published 1982

About this map

Pecos River valley irrigation and historical preservation define this eastern New Mexico landscape, dominated by the curving river and its significant Fort Sumner Main Canal. The town of Fort Sumner serves as a local hub near the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad, while the surrounding area maintains deep ties to 19th-century history. The Fort Sumner State Monument and Bosque Redondo Park mark the site of the Bosque Redondo Reservation, a site of profound importance in Navajo and Mescalero Apache history. Notable for genealogists are the three distinct burial grounds: Fort Sumner Cem, La Lande Cem, and the Old Ft Sumner Cem. The map also captures the infrastructure of the late 1960s, including the Fort Sumner Municipal Airport and smaller settlements like La Lande.
