About this map

The Rio Grande defines the international boundary between Texas and Chihuahua in this pre-war survey, anchoring a landscape of complex irrigation and ancient missions. The valley floor is crisscrossed by an extensive network of artificial waterways like the Franklin Canal, Mesa Drain, and Playa Drain, which supported the agricultural life of historic settlements such as Socorro and San Elizario. These communities, along with the San Antonio Mission, represent the deep-rooted Hispanic heritage of the El Paso Lower Valley.
