1896 Map of San Carlos

USGS Topo · Published 1903

About this map

The Rio Grande forms the defining international border in this 1895 survey of the West Texas frontier, tracing the sharp divide between Texas and Chihuahua. The landscape is dominated by the massive ridge of the Tierra Vieja Mountains, where life is dictated by the scarce presence of water. Isolated outposts and family-named cattle operations like Bright's Ranch, Cienega Ranch, and Capote Ranch anchor the high desert, positioned near essential water sources such as Mexican Spring and Nixon Spring.
