About this map

Noria and the surrounding desert landscape of Dona Ana Co are captured here in the mid-1980s, highlighting the international boundary between the United States of America and Estados Unidos Mexicanos. The terrain is defined by the transition from the arid southern New Mexico flats to the northern reaches of Chihuahua. This map documents a critical infrastructure corridor where the Southern Pacific railroad cuts across the landscape, serving as a primary transit link through this sparsely populated border region. South of the international line, the settlement of La Joya appears in the Mexican state of Chihuahua, illustrating the cross-border geography of the Mesilla Valley area. The topographic detail reflects the region's isolated character, where few named settlements or roads deviate from the established rail and border lines.
