1972 Map of Alpine North

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

Alpine sits at the southern edge of this 1970s survey, where the high desert terrain transitions into the foothills of the Davis Mountains. The city's northern expansion is marked by the Municipal Airport and a Radio Facility, reflecting the infrastructure of Brewster County during this era. High-altitude ranching life is anchored at the Merriwether Ranch, situated west of the prominent drainage of Musquiz Creek. The landscape is defined by the sharp descent of Musquiz Canyon and the winding paths of Toronto Creek and Alpine Creek. A critical corridor for trade and travel, the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad cuts across the plateau, following the natural contours of the land. Evidence of local utility and industry appears near the town limits, including Sewage Disposal Ponds and several Gravel Pits used for local development.
