About this map

Chamizal National Memorial and the Bridge of the Americas anchor the southern edge of this urban landscape where the Rio Grande Rio Bravo defines the international boundary between the United States and Mexico. The terrain rises sharply from the river valley into the peaks of the Franklin Mountains State Park, including Mount Franklin and South Franklin Mountain.

Infrastructure and military history dominate the central corridor, characterized by the expansive Fort Bliss Military Reservation and Biggs Army Airfield. The map documents a dense network of neighborhoods like Cielo Vista and Del Norte Acres, punctuated by numerous institutions such as Loretto Academy and Austin High Sch. Cultural and historical sites are clustered throughout, from the Fort Bliss National Cemetery to the historic grounds of Concordia Cemetery and St Anthony Seminary.
