1918 Map of Dove Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1941

About this map

Gage Ranch and Jones Ranch anchor the high-desert landscape of Brewster County in this detailed 1917 survey. The terrain is defined by dramatic elevations and seasonal water sources essential for cattle operations in the Trans-Pecos. Notable landmarks include the prominent ridge of Pine Mountain, Horsehoe Mesa, and the Black Hills, while the network of man-made catchments like Stevenson Tank, Crenshaw Tank, and Bowden Tank reveals the vital infrastructure of early 20th-century ranching life. Drainage follows the winding courses of San Francisco Creek and Guayule Creek, cutting through the ridges toward the Rio Grande basin. The presence of Chambers Camp and the established Sanderson Road provide evidence of early transit and settlement patterns in this isolated corner of West Texas, mapped before the modern expansion of highway systems.
