1935 Map of El Paso Gap

USGS Topo · Published 1958

About this map

Guadalupe Mountains terrain dominates this mid-1930s survey, revealing a landscape of high-desert ranching and remote outposts along the New Mexico and Texas border. The geography is defined by deep incisions like Big Dog Canyon and the prominent Guadalupe Ridge, where life centered on isolated ranching operations such as the Lewis Ranch, Hepler Ranch, and Thayer Ranch. These family holdings are marked by their reliance on scattered water sources like Ira Lewis Tank and Coats Lake, essential for livestock in a region of dry washes and deep canyons.
