2017 Map of Fort Sumner West

About this map

Fort Sumner anchors the northeastern corner of this De Baca County landscape, where the Pecos River and Trujillo Creek converge to shape the local geography. The map captures the transition from the structured street grid of the settlement—featuring Santa Fe Ave and W Sumner Ave—into the broad, sectioned ranch lands to the west. Evidence of the region's transportation network is prominent, including the small rail-aligned locale of Agudo and an extensive system of rural routes like Ricardo Rd and Lost Rd. The terrain is defined by the drainage patterns of the Pecos, illustrating how water access dictated early development and road placement in this part of eastern New Mexico. This survey provides a clear view of the rural-to-urban interface in a high-desert river valley environment.
