1941 Map of Organ Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1961

About this map

The high peaks of Organ Peak and Organ Needle dominate this early 1940s landscape east of Las Cruces. The settlement at Organ serves as a focal point near San Augustin Pass, where U.S. 70 cuts through the steep terrain. This survey captures a specific era of land use in Dona Ana County, where cattle ranching and early tourism coexisted. Noteworthy family-named holdings like the Will F. Isaacs Ranch and Cox Home Ranch are situated alongside the Hayner Resort and the famed Dripping Springs. To the west, the Jornada Experimental Range and the campus of New Mexico State College mark the transition toward the agricultural valley, while smaller landmarks like the Douglas Sch and a remote Landing Field provide insights into the social and physical infrastructure of the pre-war period.
