About this map

The Rio Grande Rio Bravo defines the international boundary between the United States of America and Estados Unidos Mexicanos on this 1994 survey of southeast El Paso. The map reveals the intricate water management systems of the borderlands, showcasing the Franklin Canal and the Playa Drain as they cut through the urban landscape. Neighborhood development is concentrated along the Alameda Ave corridor, where established local landmarks like the Cedar Grove Sch and Riverside Middle Sch serve the growing population.

Recreational spaces are anchored by Ascarate Park and the prominent Ascarate Lake, providing a distinct contrast to the surrounding residential and industrial grids. To the east, the Ysleta Learning Center and Hidden Valley Park mark the suburban expansion toward the historic Ysleta district. The proximity of the border is ever-present, shown through the tight alignment of the Texas Chihuahua state line with the river's winding course.
