1955 Map of Smeltertown

USGS Topo · Published 1967

About this map

The Rio Grande serves as both a literal and political boundary in this mid-century portrait of the borderlands where Texas, New Mexico, and Chihuahua, Mexico, converge. To the east, the Franklin Mountains rise sharply above the expanding industrial and residential landscape of El Paso. This area is defined by a complex irrigation network including the Montoya Main Lateral and Nemexas Drain, which supported the valley's agricultural transition.
