1941 Map of Heuco Mountains

USGS Topo · Published 1958

About this map

Helm Cem and the Helms Ranch sit at the western edge of the high desert terrain as it was recorded just before the United States entered World War II. This landscape is defined by its reliance on dispersed water catchments, with numerous tanks such as Last Chance Tank, Antelope Tanks, and Panther Tanks supporting life and transit across the arid flats. The map documents the overlap of traditional and modern transportation routes, showing the Butterfield Trail and Old Butterfield Road cutting through the northern reaches, while the Carlsbad Highway provides a more direct southern passage. Prominent peaks including Cerro Alto Mtn and Naville Mtn rise above the Lake Bed, creating a topographical record of the northern Hueco Mountains that is essential for understanding the early 20th-century ranching and transit infrastructure of this border region.
