1985 Map of Guzmans Lookout Mountain

About this map

The international border between United States of America and Mexico bisects this arid terrain in Doña Ana Co, New Mexico. Dominating the landscape are the West Potrillo Mountains, a volcanic field characterized by numerous cinder cones and lava flows that define the northern half of the sheet. Rising prominently from the desert floor, Guzmans Lookout Mountain serves as a stark topographical landmark just north of the border line. To the south, within the state of Chihuahua, the settlement of La Peña sits amidst the sparsely populated high desert. The map captures the remote boundary region as it was recorded during the mid-1980s, documenting the physical division between New Mexico and Chihuahua.
