USGS Topo · Published 1962

About this map

Tortugas Mountain dominates the central landscape of this Dona Ana County survey, where the arid terrain is defined by a complex network of ephemeral drainage systems including Alameda Arroyo and Fillmore Arroyo. To the west, the campus of New Mexico State College sits alongside infrastructure such as a local Airfield and Rodeo Arena. The map provides a detailed view of the regional water management strategy of the mid-1950s, highlighting several catchment structures like Alameda Dam, North Fork Dam, and Little Dam.
