1963 Map of Puerto De Luna

USGS Topo · Published 1982

About this map

The Pecos River carves a deep, winding valley through this part of Guadalupe County, sustaining the community of Puerto de Luna. The landscape is defined by the vital irrigation systems that hug the riverbanks, specifically the West Puerto de Luna Ditch and the East Puerto de Luna Ditch. These man-made features are essential markers of the agricultural heritage and settlement patterns in this arid region, where water access dictated the placement of homes and fields. Genealogy researchers will find the Nuestra Senora de Refugio Cem centrally located near the town, providing a specific point of interest for local family histories. Beyond the central valley, the terrain transitions to ranching country, with family-named operations like Willis Ranch and Z R Ranch located near the Arroyo San Juan de Dios, showing the distribution of land use in the early 1960s.
