1896 Map of Shafter

USGS Topo · Published 1949

About this map

The silver mining district of Shafter anchors this high-desert landscape in the late nineteenth century, situated in the rugged terrain between the Chinati Mountains and the Cienega Mountains. The presence of the Ross Mine and several other unnamed mine sites highlights the industrial focus of the era, while a network of isolated outposts like Cibolo Ranch, Loves Ranch, and Bishops Ranch reflects the deep-rooted ranching history of Presidio County.
