1955 Map of Clint NW

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

Horizon City stands as a focal point of development on this mid-century landscape, surrounded by an expansive grid of planned streets and utilities. The Army Map Service and Geological Survey recorded a region in transition, where desert terrain meets modern infrastructure. To the west, the prominent Mesa provides a sharp elevation contrast to the developing flats below. The map documents early recreational and utility features, including a Golf Course and a Drag Strip, alongside critical water management systems like the North Lateral and Spur Drain. Purple revisions from the early 1970s illustrate the expansion of the road network and urban footprint beyond the original 1954 aerial survey, revealing how the desert east of El Paso was being reshaped for residential use. Notable water sources such as Joint Well and South Well Water highlight the essential reliance on groundwater in this arid Texas environment.
