2004 Map of Lincoln

About this map

Lincoln stands as a focal point along Bonito Creek in this 2004 revision, which details the complex land management of the high desert and canyon country. The map illustrates a landscape partitioned between the Fort Stanton Recreation Area (BLM), the Lincoln National Forest, and the Military National Reservation Forest. This intersection of federal oversight highlights the area's importance for both recreation and historical military use. Along the Rio Ruidoso, the settlement of Glencoe is visible, accompanied by significant genealogical landmarks such as the St Annes Chapel and Glencoe Cem. Further west, the Sierra Blanca Regional Airport serves as a modern infrastructure anchor amidst the deep incisions of Devils Canyon and Cave Canyon. The presence of several family-named locations, including Buckhorn Ranch and the Coe Cem, provides a detailed view of the ranching legacy that has long defined this region of New Mexico.
