1955 Map of Helms West Well

USGS Topo · Published 1959

About this map

Hueco Mountains topography dominates this mid-century desert landscape in El Paso County, where survival was dictated by the strategic placement of water resources. The map documents a network of livestock tanks and catchment basins vital to ranching operations, such as Middle Tank, Dugout Tank, and Pow Wow Tank. These features are scattered across the high desert flats and within the shadows of prominent terrain features like Pow Wow Canyon and Martin Canyon.
