2020 Map of Columbus SE

About this map

The southern edge of Columbus marks a landscape defined by its proximity to the international border, where the United States of America Estados Unidos Mexicanos boundary line cuts across the desert floor. This 2020 survey reveals a sparse grid of ranch roads and township boundaries, including t28s r8w and t29s r7w, that organize the arid terrain. To the west, the elevation rises slightly at Black Hill, while the nearby Stiles Reservoir and the ephemeral Seventysix Draw indicate the critical role of water management in this high-desert environment. The road network, featuring local tracks like Whirlwind Rd and Pol Ranch Rd, illustrates how modern infrastructure still follows the fundamental section lines of the original Public Land Survey System. This map serves as a contemporary record of the land use and geographical markers just north of the Mexican border.
