USGS Topo · Published 1976About this map
The Sierra Vieja and Van Horn Mountains dominate this 1959 Trans-Pecos survey, revealing a landscape defined by sharp elevation changes and the deep corridor of the Rio Grande. Life in this high-desert region follows the path of the Southern Pacific railroad, which links the isolated settlements of Valentine and Lobo across the Lobo Valley. The map records a time of sparse ranching and remote outposts, including the Indian Hot Springs Resort near the river and the lonely Quebec Siding.
