1948 Map of Sowell

USGS Topo · Published 1954

About this map

The San Andres Mountains dominate the eastern edge of this landscape, rising sharply above the desert plains of the Tularosa Basin during the late 1940s. The region is defined by a sparse ranching economy, centered on isolated hubs like Cain Ranch Headquarters, Sanchez Ranch, and Sowell Ranch Headquarters. Survival in this arid environment is tied directly to water management, as evidenced by the network of scattered catchments such as Sevenmile Tank, Adobe House Tank, and Candler Tank.
