1961 Map of Lincoln

USGS Topo · Published 1964

About this map

Lincoln and its surrounding canyonlands in the early 1960s reveal a landscape defined by the convergence of the Rio Bonito and Rio Ruidoso to form the Rio Hondo. This drainage system dictates the settlement patterns of the era, with small communities and family-run operations like Bonnel Ranch and Wilbur McKnight Ranch hugging the narrow fertile valleys. The map illustrates a transitional zone where the Lincoln National Forest meets the northern boundary of the Mescalero Apache Indian Reservation.
