1948 Map of Broken Back Crater

USGS Topo · Published 1969

About this map

Chupadera Mesa dominates this 1948 landscape, a high tableland marked by a complex network of canyons such as Lutz Canyon, Lobo Canyon, and the appropriately named Hidden Waterhole Canyon. The region reflects a stark transition from the grazing lands of the north to the strictly controlled military zones of the south. Scattered throughout the territory are numerous livestock watering points like School Section Tank and Mesa Wells, alongside isolated outposts such as Harvey Ranch Headquarters and the Gallagher Ranch.
