1990 Map of Ysleta NW

About this map

The Rio Grande serves as the dominant boundary along the southern edge of this West Texas survey, marking the international border between the United States and Mexico. Focused on the southeastern fringes of El Paso, the map documents a landscape defined by significant water management and international infrastructure. Key hydrological features include the Playa Intercepting Drain and Valley Gate Lateral, which support the agricultural and urban needs of the river valley. The presence of Toll Bridges and the Convention Bdy highlights the area's role as a primary corridor for cross-border transit. While much of the sheet remains open, the urban expansion near Alfalfa and Lakeside is noted in purple, illustrating the growth of residential and industrial zones around Ascarate Park and its central Ascarate Lake.
