USGS Topo · Published 1986About this map
The Rio Grande defines the character of this mid-century landscape, fueling a complex network of irrigation that sustains the Mesilla Valley. The map details the intricate irrigation infrastructure of the mid-1950s, showing features like the Mesilla Lateral, Chamberino Main Lateral, and Santo Tomas Drain which crisscross the valley floor. The Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad corridor runs parallel to the river, linking the agricultural settlements of San Miguel, Mesquite, and Vado.
