1966 Map of Gibbons Ranch

USGS Topo · Published 1982

About this map

Sumner Lake dominates this mid-century landscape where the Guadalupe and De Baca County line crosses the water. The map documents the impoundment of the Pecos River, showing the intricate shoreline and the surrounding Sumner Lake State Park. Settlement patterns are sparse, defined by local landmarks such as Gibbons Ranch and the ruins at Los Ojitos. Small-scale evidence of early community life remains, including a lonely Cem and several Springs that likely dictated early habitation in this arid region. The drainage network of Arroyo Potrillo and Alamogordo Creek illustrates the complex topography surrounding the reservoir, providing a clear record of the area's hydrology and land use during the 1960s before later 1982 revisions were finalized.
