About this map

San Patricio and the Rio Bonito valley dominate this landscape in south-central New Mexico, where the confluence of several rivers creates a fertile corridor amidst the surrounding foothills. This area, largely comprised of the Lincoln National Forest, shows a settlement pattern deeply tied to water and family history. The influence of the Fritz family is visible through features like Emil Fritz Spring, Colonel Fritz Spring, and the Fritz Cemetery. Historical transit is represented by the Whiskey Trail, which winds through the rugged canyons. The geography is defined by prominent landmarks such as El Sentinel Peak and La Tetita Peak, while the union of the Rio Ruidoso and Rio Bonito forms the Rio Hondo near Hondo P O. This detailed survey preserves the ranching and agricultural layout of the valley as it existed before late-20th-century modernization.
