1979 Map of El Paso Gap

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

Hughes Ranch sits at the base of El Paso Ridge, anchoring a landscape where the high desert floor meets the dramatic escarpment of The Rim. This 1970s survey captures the settlement at El Paso Gap, including the El Paso Gap Ch and a nearby grave, reflecting the remote ranching life of the Guadalupe Mountains. The terrain is defined by a complex network of canyons and springs that provided essential water in an arid environment, such as Black River Spring, Hog Spring, and Soldier Spring.
