2013 Map of Double Wells

About this map

Sierra Rica dominates the northwestern terrain of this international borderlands survey, where the rugged topography of Hidalgo County meets the high desert of Mexico. The landscape is defined by the broad Hachita Valley and seasonal drainage patterns, most notably Muscrath Draw. Historically significant as a remote transit point between nations, the area features the named settlement of Double Wells, a vital water source in an otherwise arid environment. The map details the Public Land Survey System grid, including t29s r14w and t31s r14w, illustrating how land was partitioned right up to the international boundary. Infrastructure is sparse, limited to essential ranching or boundary-related features like Border Tank, reflecting the isolation of this corner of the American Southwest and Chihuahua.
