1940 Map of Heuco Tanks

USGS Topo · Published 1940

About this map

The Hueco Mountains dominate the eastern half of this terrain, providing a stark backdrop to the high desert ranching lands just before the onset of the Second World War. This landscape is defined by the critical search for water, evidenced by a network of isolated outposts such as Escontrias Ranch, Deep Well Ranch, and family-named landmarks like Nations East Well and Helms West Well.
