USGS Topo · Published 1943About this map
The Mesilla Valley dominates this 1941 survey, showing a landscape defined by an intricate network of irrigation and drainage that supported the region's agricultural colonies. The Rio Grande is flanked by the West Side Canal and the Chamberino Drainage Canal, reflecting the massive engineering efforts required to manage water in the high desert. Settlement patterns follow the river and the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe Railway, with towns like Vado and Mesquite serving as transit points for local produce.
