1918 Map of Victorio

USGS Topo · Published 1948

About this map

The Cedar Mountain Range dominates this high-desert landscape in the years before the First World War, forming a diagonal spine across the territory. This 1917 survey captures a remote ranching and mining district along the New Mexico Chihuahua border, where life revolved around scattered water sources like Wamels Upper Well, Wamels Lower Well, and Doyles Well. The southwestern portion of the map is marked by the Sierra Rica Mines and Occidental Mines, indicating the mineral interests that drew settlers to this arid region near the international Boundary Line.
