1923 Map of Altuda

USGS Topo · Published 1949

About this map

Altuda sits at the base of the Glass Mountains, serving as a vital point on the Galveston Harrisburg and San Antonio railroad during the early 1920s. This survey, conducted in cooperation with the War Department and the University of Texas, reveals a landscape defined by isolated homesteads and high-altitude mining. The presence of the Bissett Mine near Bissett Mtn highlights the region's mineral extraction history, while numerous family holdings such as Stroud Ranch, Nichols Ranch, and Skinner Ranch illustrate the vast pastoral reach of Brewster County ranching families.
