Some of you may have heard rumors about recent events at a “border”.

In 1979 the United States Geological Survey produced a series of 1:25,000 scale color image maps showing the entire US Mexican border.  There are 205 sheets in the set.

The Library has digitized all of the sheets and high resolution digital files (.tiff, .jpeg, .jpeg2000) may be downloaded at no charge.

Entire set: https://www.loc.gov/item/87691867/
