1948 Map of Triple Hill

USGS Topo · Published 1948

About this map

The high desert landscape of Hudspeth County is defined here by isolated family-named cattle operations and critical water catchment systems in the years following World War II. Named ranching headquarters such as Moseley Ranch and Baylor Ranch anchor the northern reaches, connected by the unpaved Moseley Road and the distinctively named The Bump Gate. In a terrain where surface water is scarce, the map documents numerous essential cattle tanks, including McGunnegle Tank, Bogus Tank, and Ramsey Tank, which supported the livestock economy across the vast Blanca Flats. The southern portion of the sheet is dominated by significant elevations, specifically the Sierra Blanca range and Triple Hill, with topographic detail capturing the relief of Little Blanca Mountain and the distinct volcanic features of Cliff Top and Dyke Top.
