1896 Map of San Carlos

USGS Topo · Published 1929

About this map

Sierra Vieja dominates the eastern half of this landscape, its steep escarpments and peaks like Gettysburg Peak and Capote Peak overlooking the high desert flats of West Texas. Surveyed in 1895, the map documents the sparse ranching economy and critical water sources of Presidio County long before modern development. The network of isolated outposts such as Bright's Ranch, Cienega Ranch, and Capote Ranch relies on a scattered system of springs and canyons, including Mexican Spring, Nixon Spring, and the deep cut of Bracks Canyon.
