USGS Topo · Published 1949About this map
The Southern Pacific System tracks define the northern corridor of this Trans-Pecos landscape, linking the ranching hub of Marathon to the settlement of Haymond. Surveyed in the early 1920s, the map reveals a remote territory organized around isolated homesteads and family ranches, including the Old Beckley Place, Gages Lightning Ranch, and the Old Edith Lochhausen Place. These outposts are scattered across a complex terrain of basins and ridges, including the Peña Blanca Mountains and the distinctively named Hells Half Acre.
