1972 Map of Lobo SW

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

Green River carves through this arid landscape in the early 1970s, marking a central drainage point between the high peaks of the Van Horn Mountains and the winding reaches of Eagle Canyon. This corner of Trans-Pecos Texas is defined by its mining history and remote ranching outposts, with visible landmarks like Taylor Ranch and the Mica Mine situated near the Hudspeth and Culberson county line. The presence of the Old Railroad Grade running parallel to the mountains hints at earlier industrial connectivity, while numerous prospects and mines like the Plata Verde Mine suggest a landscape long scrutinized for mineral wealth. Vital water sources for livestock and human habitation are recorded through scattered features such as Formwalt Windmill and various wells, illustrating the infrastructure required to sustain life in the high desert.
