USGS Topo · Published 1942

About this map

Mt Riley and the volcanic clusters of the West Potrillo Mountains dominate this high-desert landscape surveyed during the first World War. This borderland region in Dona Ana County illustrates the stark isolation of the Chihuahuan Desert before modern expansion. The southern edge of the map follows the international boundary between the United States and Mexico, marked by a physical Monument.
