1941 Map of El Paso

USGS Topo · Published 1941

About this map

The Franklin Mountains dominate the western skyline of this border landscape, where the growing urban grid of El Paso meets the sprawling Fort Bliss Military Reservation. This 1938-39 survey captures a critical era of regional development, showing the proximity of early neighborhoods like Austin Terrace and Morningside to military infrastructure and the international boundary. A remarkable feature is Cordova Island, a piece of Mexican territory then situated north of the Rio Grande due to river shifts, illustrating the complex geopolitical history of the Chamizal dispute.
