1917 Map of Camel Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1947

About this map

Isolated ranchsteads and a vital international corridor define this 1917 landscape along the New Mexico and Chihuahua border. Surveyed in cooperation with the War Department, the map captures a period of early 20th-century frontier life where water sources like Mesquite Lake and Indian Basin were essential landmarks for survival. The El Paso and Southwestern railroad cuts a straight line across the desert floor, passing through the small station at Arena and facilitating trade and movement through this arid basin.
