1940 Map of Guadalupe Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1949

About this map

Guadalupe Peak Highest Point in Texas anchors this 1930s survey, rising sharply above the Crow Flats and the western Salt Lake. The map reveals a landscape defined by isolated ranching outposts and rugged canyons before the area's later designation as a national park. Trace the distribution of essential water sources like Choza Spring, Bone Spring, and Manzanita Spring, which supported human habitation in this arid terrain. Remote residential and commercial sites, including Pratt Lodge, Frijole, and the Williams Ranch, are connected by the primitive precursor to U.S. 62 180. The presence of an Airway Beacon and a Filling Sta at Pine Spring Camp signals the slow encroachment of modern transportation infrastructure into the Trans-Pecos wilderness during the pre-war era.
