1917 Map of Tascotal Mesa

USGS Topo · Published 1917

About this map

Isolated cattle ranches and rugged frontier trails dominate this 1917 survey of the High Desert borderlands. The landscape is defined by the massive uplift of Tascotal Mesa and the expansive Green Valley, where family operations like Rooney Ranch and Cotters Ranch established themselves in a territory carved by deep drainage systems like North Canyon and South Canyon. The map documents a critical transportation network for the era, including the Marfa and Lajitas Road and the historic Seminole Trail, which provided passage through the formidable terrain.
