1935 Map of El Paso Gap
USGS Topo · Published 1954About this map
The Guadalupe Mountains dominate this mid-1930s landscape, where survival in the high desert is traced through a complex network of water tanks and remote cattle ranches. Life in the high canyons and plateaus is marked by family names like Thayer Ranch, Irabarne Ranch, and Shattuck Ranch, supported by vital water sources such as the Kneedeep Tank, Ira Lewis Tank, and Pickett Tanks. This era's infrastructure is sparse, evidenced by the small schoolhouses at Queen Sch and Dog Canyon Sch which served the isolated ranching community.
