1965 Map of Fort Sumner West

About this map

Fort Sumner anchors the northeastern corner of this arid landscape, where the Pecos River and the Main Canal support a pocket of irrigated development. The Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad cuts a diagonal line across the high plains, passing through the remote station at Agudo. This mid-1960s survey reveals a ranching economy reliant on scattered water sources, marked by numerous named landmarks such as the Steele Ranch, McCollum Ranch, and Vaughn Ranch.
