Buckman, New Mexico
Buckman is a ghost town in Santa Fe County, New Mexico, United States of America, about south of San Ildefonso Pueblo, on the east bank of the Rio Grande in White Rock Canyon.
==History==
About 1899, Henry S. Buckman, a lumberman from Oregon, constructed a plank bridge across the Rio Grande at the point where the narrow-gauge D&RG railroad’s Santa Fe Branch, popularly known as the Chili Line, diverged south-eastward toward Santa Fe from its route along the river bank. Buckman had contracted to have a road blasted up a side canyon onto the Pajarito Plateau, to harvest stands of Ponderosa Pine. A small community grew at the railway stop, supported by the timber harvesting, and a post office was established with Mr. Buckman as the postmaster. By 1903 Mr. Buckman’s sawmills had stripped all of the pine for which he had been licensed (and allegedly substantially more) and he departed, with the closure of the post office and the collapse of the community.〔Pettit, Roland A: ''Los Alamos Before the Dawn'', Pajarito Publications 1972.〕
The stop on the railway, the bridge and the road remained for several years, and continued to serve a number of homesteads on the Plateau, including the Los Alamos Ranch School. After a road bridge was constructed in 1924 at Otowi, about 3 miles north, the Buckman bridge and its road fell into disuse and were abandoned. The railroad closed in 1941 and was removed during the following year.
