USGS Topo · Published 1985About this map
The Rio Grande corridor and the high desert of Hudspeth County define this mid-1980s landscape, where international boundaries and mountain ranges meet. Along the river, settlements like Fort Hancock and Acala sit adjacent to the United States-Mexico border, while the interior is dominated by the Quitman Mountains and the Finlay Mountains. The map marks the Fort Quitman (Site) near the river, a location significant for its role in the 19th-century frontier defense system.
