1983 Map of Corner Well

USGS Topo · Published 1983

About this map

The New Mexico-Chihuahua border defines this desert landscape, where the international line separates Hidalgo County from the Mexican state to the south. This 1983 provisional survey highlights the high-altitude terrain of the Peloncillo Mountains region, anchored by the prominent summit of El Indio and the rising slopes of Haystack Mountain in the northwest. Human activity in this arid environment is centered around essential water and transit points, most notably Corner Well and an isolated Airstrip near the border. Small settlements and named locales like El Monumento and El Rincon are scattered among complex geological formations such as the Cerros Piedras Negras and Cerros El Rincon. The topography is marked by ephemeral drainages like Bordos Torres, reflecting the seasonal water patterns of the high desert.
