A patron is co-teaching a course combining an engineering and artistic
perspectives on the Rio Grande in New Mexico.  We found a 1:63,360 scale
map of 1914: Map of Mesilla Valley, showing various known river channels.
[Washington, D.C.?] : U.S. Reclamation Service, Rio Grande Project, New
Mexico-Texas, 1914.  She is very happy with this map, so happy that she
would now like a similar scaled map for at least some of the Rio Grande
above what is now the Elephant Butte reservoir.  She is particularly
interested in following the river's course.
So far, I have not been able to locate anything in our holdings or online.
 Can anyone make some suggestions?  I've not been able to find much in
Perry-Casteneda online library or the David Rumsey collection, but that
may be unfamiliarity with how to search them.

Thanks,
