1940 Map of Carlsbad Caverns West

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Queen Cem and the small settlement of Queen anchor the western reaches of this 1940 survey, documenting the rugged landscape of southern New Mexico before modern development. The map reveals a network of high-altitude ranching outposts such as Montgomery Ranch, Queen Ranch, and Schermeryer Ranch, linked by primitive trails through the Guadalupe Mountains. The prevalence of water features like Sitting Bull Spring and Carson Seep Ranger Sta underscores the critical importance of reliable water sources for both livestock and forestry management in this arid environment.
