1995 Map of Canutillo

About this map

The Rio Grande valley north of El Paso defines this 1990s landscape, where the irrigated lowlands of the Mesilla Valley meet the steep western face of the Franklin Mountains. The corridor is dominated by a complex network of water management features, including the West Lateral, East Lateral, and the Canutillo Drain, which support the agricultural tracts between the river and the mountain foothills. This era shows the established community of Canutillo and the neighboring settlements of Vinton and Anthony, punctuated by major institutional landmarks like the La Tuna Federal Correctional Institution. Transportation and industry are anchored by the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe RR and a large Gravel Pit near Westway. Genealogists and local historians can trace specific community developments through several named schools, such as the Jose H Damian Sch and Deanna Davenport Sch, alongside local recreation spots like Anthony Park.
