2010 Map of Camel Mountain

About this map

Birchfield Ranch and the small settlement of Malpais are established outposts in this arid landscape along the international boundary between the United States of America and Mexico. The terrain is defined by sparse but significant landmarks, such as the isolated Red Windmill and the topographic rise of Camel Mountain. Further west, Coyote Hill and the broad Indian Basin break the desert floor, providing essential points of reference for those navigating this borderland region. The road network is limited to rural routes like County Rd-B002 and A-001 County Rd, which cut across the high desert to connect remote ranching interests. This 2010 survey reflects a period of modern border management while maintaining the characteristic isolation of the southern New Mexico desert.
