1947 Map of Carlsbad Caverns East
USGS Topo · Published 1947About this map
Carlsbad Caverns National Park dominates the high limestone plateaus of the Guadalupe Mountains in this post-war survey. The map centers on the famed Cavern Entrance and the service community of White City along the highway. The landscape transition is sharp, moving from the deeply incised canyons like Walnut Canyon and Rattlesnake Canyon into the lower desert flats where the Black River flows.
