2010 Map of Coyote Hill

About this map

The international border between the United States and Mexico bisects the southern reaches of this landscape, marking a stark geopolitical boundary in the high desert of Luna County. Settlement is sparse, anchored by the small community of Arena situated near the intersection of several local routes. The terrain is characterized by the namesake Coyote Hill, a prominent rise in an otherwise open expanse of arid land. Transportation through this borderland depends on a network of unpaved roads, including County Rd-B003 and County Rd-B002, which connect the isolated homesteads and ranching interests to the wider region. This 2010 survey provides a precise view of the rural infrastructure and boundary lines at the turn of the decade.
