1918 Map of Indian Wells

USGS Topo · Published 1949

About this map

Indian Wells serves as a central landmark in this remote corner of Brewster County, where the desert landscape is defined by the deep incision of the Rio Grande. Surveyed in cooperation with the War Department just before the end of the Great War, the area reveals a sparse network of ranching outposts such as Garcia Ranch, Elders Ranch, and Stewart Ranch. The terrain is characterized by complex drainage systems, including the long reach of San Francisco Creek and the steep-walled Washboard Canyon.
