About this map

Carlsbad Caverns National Park defines the central landscape of this 1940s survey, revealing a subterranean network of landmarks including Painted Grotto, Midnight Cave, and New Cave. The surface is characterized by a series of deep canyons, such as Slaughter Canyon and Double Canyon, which cut through the limestone terrain toward the Black River. This era shows a working ranching landscape bordering the federal preserve, where family names are tied to remote outposts like Montgomery Ranch, Leeman Ranch, and Robinson Ranch.
