1957 Map of Paul Spur

USGS Topo · Published 1959

About this map

Paul Spur and the surrounding reaches of the Sulphur Spring Valley define this borderlands landscape just north of the international boundary between the United States and Mexico. The map captures an era of industrial and transportation utility, anchored by the east-west corridor of the Southern Pacific railroad. Near the settlement of Forrest, the infrastructure of the Forrest Airport and a series of reservoirs illustrate the management of resources and transit in this arid environment. To the west, the landscape is marked by more localized activity, including a Quarry and a Cemetery near Paul Spur, alongside the residential footprint of Rancho San Jose. Multiple landing strips and a prominent pipeline further indicate the region's importance for logistics and utility networks during the mid-century period.
