About this map

The Rio Grande serves as the prominent international boundary between the United States of America and Mexico, defining the southern edge of this West Texas landscape. On the American side, the map documents the southeastern urban expansion of El Paso, where residential pockets like Lakeside and Alfalfa are situated amidst a network of irrigation and drainage features. The Valley Gate Lateral reflects the historical management of water in this arid river valley, supporting the local agricultural legacy that gave the Alfalfa settlement its name. Near the river's bend, Ascarate Lake stands as a significant local landmark, while the road network including Alameda Ave and Polo Inn Rd illustrates the development of the border region in the early twenty-first century.
