1979 Map of Gunsight Hills North

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

Gunsight Hills anchor this high-desert landscape in Hudspeth County, showing a remote region defined by ranching infrastructure and water management in the late 1970s. The map illustrates the survival strategies of the arid West, where named water sources such as Pool Tank, Moon Tank, and Mesquite Tank are vital landmarks. Human activity is sparse but clear, with the Baylor Ranch and the settlement at Cavett serving as the primary hubs of residency. The utilitarian nature of the era is evidenced by a dedicated Landing Strip, likely serving these remote outposts, alongside industrial markers like a Gravel Pit and a Drill Hole. This 1979 survey reflects the continuing reliance on scattered tanks and small-scale extractive sites within a landscape characterized by peaks such as Baylor and a prominent southern Point.
