1943 Map of Afton

USGS Topo · Published 1949

About this map

The Rio Grande valley and the high Chihuahuan Desert dominate this 1940s landscape, illustrating the contrast between irrigated riverbottoms and the arid uplands of the Mesilla Valley. Along the river’s eastern edge, the land is intricately subdivided into the Mesilla Civil Colony and the Santo Tomas De Yturbide Colony, where a dense network of waterways including the Mesilla Ditch and West Side Canal supported early agricultural efforts.
