1958 Map of Van Horn
USGS Topo · Published 1958About this map
The high desert basins and peaks of the Trans-Pecos dominate this late 1950s survey, anchoring the intersection of the Texas and Pacific and Southern Pacific railroads. The town of Van Horn serves as a critical junction, situated between the Beach Mountains and the Wylie Mountains, while Sierra Blanca marks the western gateway where these major rail lines converge near the Quitman Mountains. This landscape is defined by its isolation and the necessity of water, evidenced by the sprawling Crow Flats and the numerous family holdings such as Patterson Ranch and Mayfield Ranch that dot the arid terrain.
