1955 Map of Black Mountains

USGS Topo · Published 1956

About this map

Salt Flat serves as the primary outpost in this arid Hudspeth County landscape, situated near the Salt Ponds and a beacon at the edge of the desert. The 1955 survey illustrates a ranching economy reliant on an extensive network of water infrastructure, including the Eightmile Windmill, McAdoo Tank, and Kuykendall Tank. These features represent the essential lifelines for isolated settlements like Babb Camp and the Big Tank Ranch.
