1973 Map of Shumla

USGS Topo · Published 1976

About this map

The confluence of the Rio Grande and Pecos River dominates this southwestern border landscape during the mid-1970s. This period reflects a transformed environment where the waters of the Amistad Reservoir have filled the deep canyons of Val Verde County, creating a massive water body that defines the United States Mexico border and the National Recreation Area. The Southern Pacific railroad cuts across the arid terrain, passing through the small settlement of Shumla and crossing the high bridge over the Pecos. Grounded in the rugged geography of the Trans-Pecos, the map details a network of canyons including Painted Canyon, Lewis Canyon, and Shackelford Can. Local infrastructure is sparse, characterized by a remote Landing Strip, a Gaging Sta on the river, and small industrial sites like a Quarry and Gravel Pit positioned near the rail line.
