1918 Map of Reagan Canyon

USGS Topo · Published 1939

About this map

The Rio Grande defines the international boundary in this 1917 survey of Brewster County, where the river carves through high desert terrain. The map records a sparse but functional frontier landscape, notably featuring the Wax Factory situated near the riverbanks. This site likely processed candelilla wax, a primary regional industry of the early twentieth century. Further south, the Horns Ranch stands as a primary landmark for cattle operations in a region marked by steep-walled drainages like Reagan Canyon and Big Canyon. An Old Trail meanders across the flats of Las Vegas De Los Ladrones, providing a look at the historic transit routes used by ranchers and laborers before modern infrastructure reached this isolated stretch of the Texas-Coahuila border.
