1923 Map of Altuda

USGS Topo · Published 1923

About this map

Altuda sits at the southwestern edge of the Glass Mountains, serving as a vital point on the Southern Pacific System railroad during the early 1920s. This survey, conducted in cooperation with the War Department, reveals a landscape defined by isolated homesteads and high-elevation landmarks. To the east, the terrain rises toward the prominent heights of Old Blue Mtn and Cathedral Mtn, while the Bissett Mine indicates the era's mineral prospecting near Bissett Mtn. The map documents numerous family-named landmarks including the Stroud Ranch, Esterwood Ranch, and the Beaty Place, which are connected by early roads leading toward Fort Stockton and Alpine. The presence of Ainsleys Cabin and several springs like those in Gilliland Canyon highlights the essential water sources required for ranching and settlement in this arid Texas environment.
