1927 Map of Hyder
USGS Topo · Published 1961About this map
The Palomas Plain dominates this landscape, surveyed in 1927 by E.S. Rickard during a period of expanding transportation through the desert. The Southern Pacific railroad cuts across the southern portion of the sheet, providing a vital corridor that supported the settlement at Hyder and the nearby Morris Ranch. This rail-and-road network illustrates the early 20th-century reliance on reliable water sources like Hall Well for those traversing the arid basins.
