1918 Map of Mt. Riley

USGS Topo · Published 1929

About this map

Volcanic peaks and isolated desert outposts dominate this borderland landscape during the late 1910s. The prominent massif of Mt Riley stands as a central landmark between the volcanic cinder cones of the West Potrillo Mountains and the uplifted ridge of the East Potrillo Mountains. The mapping captures a transition in desert survival, where reliance on scattered water sources like Cox Tank supported isolated operations at Phillips Ranch and Cox Ranch.
