1979 Map of Pueblo Nuevo

About this map

The Rio Grande serves as the central artery and international border in this 1970s survey of the Trans-Pecos region, where the water's path dictates the placement of small agricultural settlements and ranching outposts. Along the river's winding course, local history is preserved at Pueblo Nuevo, La Oficina, and La Macolla. The landscape is defined by its drainages, including the Arroyo Palo Blanco and Naegele Creek, which cut through the high desert terrain. Notable cultural markers such as a Cementerio and the Hot Springs area reflect the human presence in this arid environment. This edition captures the borderlands just as the International Boundary and Water Commission formally established the line between Presidio County and Chihuahua, providing a specific record of the land use near Mesa Ojo Caliente and the Navarrette area.
