USGS Topo · Published 1962About this map
Refugio Colony and the agricultural expanse of the Mesilla Valley are documented here in the mid-1950s, revealing a complex network of irrigation and drainage infrastructure managed by the Rio Grande. The landscape is defined by its water management, including the San Miguel Canal and various laterals like the Three Saints Lateral. This period shows the transition from the historic Chamberino (Old Town) to newer settlement patterns.
