1972 Map of Lobo

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

The Van Horn Mountains dominate the western landscape of this Trans-Pecos region, where high peaks and deep incisions like China Canyon and Hammer Handle Canyon define the high desert terrain. To the east, the sharp descent into the Lobo Valley (Depression) reveals a starkly different environment, characterized by expansive flats and seasonal drainage features such as Wild Horse Draw. The settlement of Lobo sits as a lonely outpost along the Southern Pacific tracks, serving as a critical waypoint in an arid basin where water is the primary concern for any inhabitant. Traces of ranching life are evident in the scattered infrastructure, including the High Lonesome Windmill and various unnamed wells and tanks. The map also records the jurisdictional line at the Culberson Co Jeff Davis Co Bdy, illustrating how political boundaries slice across this remote stretch of the Chihuahuan Desert.
