1920 Map of Bone Spring

About this map

The Santiago Mountains dominate this Brewster County landscape during the first World War, revealing a network of remote ranching outposts and high-desert infrastructure. Water management is central to life here, evidenced by numerous named improvements such as Edwards Well, Cow Heaven Tank, and Norton Tank scattered across the arid terrain. Natural transit corridors are clearly defined through Persimmon Gap and Dog Canyon, providing passage through the uplifted ridges of the Sierra Del Caballo Muerto and the Rosilos Mountains.
