1965 Map of Malpais Hill

USGS Topo · Published 1967

About this map

Tres Hermanas Mountains dominate the northeastern corner of this Chihuahuan Desert landscape, with peaks such as Black Top rising sharply above the alluvial plains. This mid-1960s survey captures a sparse ranching and transit corridor along the international border between the United States and Mexico. Human activity is centered on a handful of isolated outposts like Dogtown Ranch, Edwards Ranch, and Line Ranch, all dependent on scattered water sources such as Simpson Well and Hoppy Tank.
