About this map

The United States Mexico border defines the southern edge of this 1917 survey, a landscape shaped by remote cattle operations and the critical search for water in the high desert. Scattered across the Playas Valley and the surrounding peaks are the homesteads of early ranching families, including the Lard's Ranch, Culbersons Ranch, and the W E Bass Ranch. These outposts relied on a network of isolated water sources like McDaw's Well and the aptly named High Lonesome Wells.
