Note:
A wonderfully detailed Army Engineers map of southwestern New Mexico, listed in Graff with no explanation for the fact that this map was clearly meant to be the lower left corner of a four sheet map of New Mexico. If all the other sheets were printed (and the fact that Graff only lists this sheet is indication that they may not have been) the resulting map would be huge - about 140 cm square. El Paso is shown, as is a small part of Arizona and Mexico. Given its large scale, one suspects that this was the most detailed map of New Mexico published at the time. Fitch 44-201 lists this map and the sheet that would join it above, titled Northwestern New Mexico, and dated 1885. Map is without color. Relief shown by hachures and spot heights.
