USGS Topo · Published 1897About this map
The high desert and mountain frontier of Far West Texas appear in this 1894 survey, dominated by the massif of the Davis Mountains. The rail-stop settlement of Valentine serves as the primary hub along the Southern Pacific R. R., marking a critical point for transport across the arid landscape. The map reveals an economy of isolated cattle outposts and family homesteads, with water sources determining the locations of Newman's Ranch, Prude's Ranch, and Evans Ranch situated far into the foothills.
