2013 Map of Columbus

About this map

The border town of Columbus serves as the focal point of this 2013 survey, situated where New Mexico meets the international boundary of the United States of America Estados Unidos Mexicanos. This desert landscape in Luna County is defined by its grid of residential streets and its significant aviation history, notably represented by the First Aero Squadron Airpark. Names like Pershing, Doolittle, and Roosevelt Ave reflect a deep military and political heritage tied to the town’s past. To the northwest, the terrain rises into the Tres Hermanas Mountains and the winding Rascon Canyon, while the southern edge of the village is marked by the Columbus Stockyards Airport near the border crossing. The map reveals a community organized around transit and legacy, from NM-9 to the named avenues like Grant Ave and Lincoln Ave that form the core of the settlement.
