Horizon City and Socorro anchor this map of the Lower Valley outside El Paso, illustrating the extensive residential expansion and infrastructure of the borderlands. The landscape is defined by its complex irrigation and drainage network, featuring the Mesa Spur Drain, Ysleta Lateral, and Mesa Drain, which speak to the area's agricultural foundations even as modern subdivisions take hold. Numerous residential communities and colonias are visible, including Sparks, Agua Dulce Colonia, and McAdoo Acres Colonia. The map reveals a dense grid of newer street names like Emerald Park Dr and Eastlake Blvd alongside specialized infrastructure such as the El Paso Natural Gas Maint Rd and various aviation-themed lanes like Starduster and Aerocommander near local taxiways. This survey provides an essential look at the late-2010s suburbanization of El Paso County, documenting the specific layout of established neighborhoods and developing settlements.
