User:Asiaticus/sandbox/Fort Conrad, New Mexico

Following the valley of the Rio Grande southward, we come successively to the military station at Socorro, and to Fort Conrad,.... Next in order is Fort Craig, at the northern terminus of the Jornada del Muerto, nine miles below Fort Conrad and southward on the river.

The latitude of Fort Conrad is about 33° 34’ 19” N., and the longitude 107° 9’ 39” W.; the altitude above the ocean 4,576 feet. That location 33.57194°N, -107.16083°W is located southwest of Fort Craig and must be in error. However 9 miles above fort Craig on the west bank of the river the altitude is close.
