Georeferencing Remarks Woolman's report (https://www.biodiversitylibrary.org/item/215790#page/73/mode/1up) indicates that he collected on the Rio Grande at the water works in El Paso. Can't find location of historic water pump station, but point placed on river at current water treatment plant, which falls inthe the historical geography of El Paso, based on a 1908 map (http://legacy.lib.utexas.edu/maps/historical/el_paso08.jpg). Extent runs to edge of town as indicated on the map.
