1896 Map of Shafter

USGS Topo · Published 1913

About this map

The Shafter mining district and the high desert borderlands along the Rio Grande define this late 19th-century survey. Silver production at the Ross Mine and various unnamed mines near the Chinati Mountains represents the industrial heart of the region. The landscape is characterized by a network of isolated homesteads and livestock operations, including Bishops Ranch, Kirby's Ranch, and Kelley's Ranch, many situated near vital water sources like Ojo Bonito and Spencer Spring.
