1985 Map of Mount Livermore

About this map

Lobo Valley serves as a corridor for the Southern Pacific railroad and U.S. 90, cutting between the high peaks of the Van Horn Mountains and the Sierra Vieja. This mid-1980s landscape is dominated by the massive profile of Mount Livermore and Baldy Peak to the east, where the terrain shifts from the arid flats of Ninety-six Creek into the high Davis Mountains. Small rail settlements like Valentine, Quebec, and Chispa trace the transportation network that sustained ranching and mining operations in this border region. To the north, the Plata Verde Mines sit tucked into the foothills, while the complex drainage patterns of Tally Slough and Ninemile Draw illustrate the catchment areas of the surrounding ranges. The map also delineates the international border with the United States of America and Mexico along the Rio Grande.
