2010 Map of Canutillo

About this map

The Mesilla Valley serves as a corridor for settlement and transit along the Rio Grande as it flows toward El Paso. In this era of residential expansion, the landscape is defined by numerous colonias and additions, including R W Jones Colonia, Mobile Haven Estates Colonia, and the Hermosa Vista Addition Colonia. These communities sit between the river's complex irrigation network, featuring the Anthony Drain and Vinton Lateral, and the rising slopes of the Franklin Mountains to the east. The map records important local landmarks such as the Canutillo Cemetery and the Borderland Bridge, while identifying established hubs like Anthony, Vinton, and La Tuna. This survey documents the transition of former agricultural lands into suburban developments while maintaining the vital water infrastructure necessary for valley life.
