1920 Map of Animas Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1932

About this map

The Animas Valley and its surrounding high country are captured here during a period of established cattle ranching and remote settlement. Anchored by the Animas Peak in the east and the Peloncillo Mountains to the west, the landscape is defined by family-named holdings and drainage basins like Horse Camp Draw and Animas Creek. The map provides a detailed view of early 20th-century life in Hidalgo County, showing the distribution of rural educational sites such as Maddox School and Gray School. Numerous homesteads and seasonal camps, including the Old Isaacs Place, Eaton Place, and various holdings of the Dunagan family, reflect a subsistence and ranching economy dependent on reliable water sources like McCormick Spr. The terrain transitions from the alluvial floor of the valley to the significant elevations of the Coronado National Forest, where landmarks like Mt Baldy and Skeleton Canyon dominate the skyline.
