1964 Map of Lasca

About this map

Sierra Blanca dominates the northern horizon of this West Texas landscape, where the high desert terrain of the Quitman Mountains meets the infrastructure of the mid-20th century. The central corridor is defined by the Texas and Pacific railroad line, which runs parallel to the modern highway through a gap in the hills. This transit-heavy layout highlights the area's role as a vital passage between mountains, evidenced by the presence of a Roadside Park and the small settlement of Etholen.
