1917 Map of Hood Spring

USGS Topo · Published 1958

About this map

The Santiago Mountains dominate this Trans-Pecos landscape as it appeared during the First World War. This arid environment in Brewster County is defined by its critical water sources and early transportation routes. The Gage Indian Creek Ranch stands as a primary point of habitation, situated near the headwaters of Indian Creek. Movement through the region was funneled along the Marathon and Boquillas Road, which cuts a path across the southern flats toward the Rio Grande, and the Sanderson Road branching eastward. Local reliability on groundwater is evident by the naming of several key springs, including Tinaja Spring, Hood Spring, and Kincaid Spring. The drainage patterns are clearly delineated, with Maravillas Creek and San Francisco Creek serving as the major ephemeral arteries of the desert floor.
