1940 Map of El Paso Gap

About this map

Queen and the surrounding rangelands of the Guadalupe Mountains define this high-desert landscape in the late 1930s. The settlement pattern is dominated by remote cattle and sheep ranching, with isolated homesteads such as Thayer Ranch, Shattuck Ranch, and Hepler Ranch scattered across the high plateaus and deep drainages. Education in this sparsely populated territory was anchored by the Queen Sch and Dog Canyon Sch, serving families living miles apart.
