1985 Map of Guadalupe Canyon

About this map

The international boundary between the United States and Mexico bisects this 1980s landscape where the high deserts of Arizona and New Mexico meet Sonora. This region is defined by a series of named watercourses and springs that historically supported ranching and transit across the borderlands. Notable landmarks include the Spring of Contention and the deep incisions of Guadalupe Canyon and Baker Canyon. Small named sites such as Sky Tank, El Jalisco, and Las Minas reflect the local heritage of resource management and early mining activity. The map also delineates the precise tri-point where Cochise County and Hidalgo County meet at the international line, illustrating the remote administrative intersections of the American Southwest. Much of the movement through this difficult terrain is marked by traditional routes like the Pack Trail, connecting isolated points like Puerta Blanca and El Papalotito.
