1945 Map of Texas Hill

USGS Topo · Published 1945

About this map

Lincoln National Forest dominates the southern landscape of this mid-1940s survey, where the rugged topography of the Brokeoff Mountains meets the expansive Algerita Flat. The area is characterized by a sparse network of ranching outposts and vital water infrastructure, including the Armstrong & Armstrong Headquarters Ranch and the Hardin Ranch. An interesting historical detail is the Indian Side Camp (CCC), a remnant of Depression-era work programs situated near Powers Shack and Powers Ridge. This map illustrates the critical importance of water management in a desert environment, with dozens of named catchments such as McGonigle Tanks, Stegrest Waterhole, and Texas Deep Well scattered across the limestone canyons and high ridges like Texas Hill. Evidence of early industrial transit is visible through a Pipeline cutting across the northern reaches of Packsaddle Canyon.
