2017 Map of Columbus SE

About this map

The southern edge of Columbus sits at the precipice of the international border in this 2017 survey of the high desert in Luna County. The landscape is defined by the stark demarcation of the border with Estados Unidos Mexicanos, where the grid of American county roads abruptly meets the northern stretches of Chihuahua. Desert hydrology is represented by ephemeral features such as Seventysix Draw and the Stiles Reservoir, while the prominent volcanic landform of Black Hill rises above the basin floor. Local transit is managed through a network of rural routes including Whirlwind Rd, Pol Ranch Rd, and the tellingly named Boundry St, which runs directly along the town's southern limits.
