1972 Map of Eagle Mountains SW

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

The Rio Grande forms the international boundary in this arid stretch of Hudspeth County, winding through the desert floor south of the Quitman Mountains. The landscape is dominated by complex drainage systems, most notably the wide path of Red Light Draw and the more incised Mule Canyon. While the terrain is largely unpopulated, the presence of the Guerra Farm near the riverbank and an isolated Landing Strip suggests a reliance on small-scale cultivation and remote accessibility in this border region. Transport through the interior is limited to a network of Jeep Trails, underscoring the isolation of the area as it appeared in the early 1970s. The map clearly delineates the United States-Mexico border as it follows the river’s serpentine course through the Chihuahuan desert.
