1897 Map of Valentine

About this map

The high-altitude ranching and rail landscape of West Texas is documented here just before the turn of the century. The Southern Pacific R. R. cuts through the southwest corner, serving the station at Valentine, while the remainder of the terrain is defined by the massive peaks of the Davis Mountains. Prominent elevations like Sawtooth Mt. and Baldy Peak rise above a network of deep drainage systems, including Cherry Canyon and Madera Canyon.
