1955 Map of Desert SE

USGS Topo · Published 1962

About this map

The Hueco Mountains dominate this 1950s survey of the high desert along the border of New Mexico and Texas. The landscape is defined by the vital necessity of water management in an arid climate, marked by a series of catchment features including Chaparral Tank, Flat Tank, Coyote Tank, and Lake Tank. These features suggest a history of ranching or livestock management in a region where natural surface water is scarce.
