1940 Map of Newman

USGS Topo · Published 1965

About this map

Ranching life and early 20th-century transportation networks define this arid landscape along the border of New Mexico and Texas. Surveyed in 1940, the territory is anchored by the Southern Pacific railroad, which cuts diagonally across the basin floor toward the settlement of Newman and the stop at Hueco. The map reveals a highly decentralized pattern of life, where water sources like Old Coe Lake, Wessly Well, and Jessie Well dictated the placement of family operations including the Henry Ranch, Blythe Ranch, and Trueblood Ranch.
