1994 Map of El Paso

About this map

The Rio Grande Rio Bravo forms the international boundary in this 1990s survey, anchoring the city of El Paso against the rugged peaks of the Franklin Mountains State Park. The landscape is dominated by the sprawling Fort Bliss Military Reservation, which includes Biggs Army Airfield and the Fort Bliss National Cemetery. The urban grid reflects decades of growth, from the historic core near Concordia Cemetery to the commercial development around Cielo Vista Mall. Along the river, the Chamizal National Memorial stands as a testament to the Chamizal Convention Bdy, marking a significant diplomatic resolution of the border. Transport and industry are central to the area's character, evidenced by the Southern Pacific railroad lines and the El Paso International Airport infrastructure.
