1963 Map of Puerto Creek

About this map

Puerto de Luna occupies the eastern edge of this Guadalupe County landscape, situated along the banks of the Pecos River. The settlement's local infrastructure is clearly marked in the early 1960s, featuring the Puerto de Luna Sch and the Nuestra Señora de Refugio Cem. This area demonstrates a reliance on the river's path, with a series of Ditch segments diverted from the main flow to support the local valley. To the west, the terrain rises into the Agua Negra uplands, where the drainage systems of Puerto Creek and Carrizo Creek define the geography. The presence of multiple Spring points suggests the vital importance of water sources in this semi-arid environment, serving as the lifelines for the scattered ranching and agricultural efforts of the era.
