1943 Map of Bassett Lake

About this map

Foster Ranch and the isolated Hilltop House stand as the primary human outposts in this arid borderlands landscape surveyed in the early 1940s. The terrain is defined by the high, craggy slopes of the Hueco Mountains in the southwest, falling away into a series of broad draws and canyons. Water management is the central theme of the landscape, evidenced by the dense network of earthen tanks and catchments like Tinney Tank, Red House Tanks, and Camaleche Tanks scattered across the high desert.
