2020 Map of Double Wells

About this map

The international boundary between the United States of America and Estados Unidos Mexicanos anchors this 2020 topographical study. The high peaks of Sierra Rica dominate the northwestern terrain, where steep elevation changes give way to the drainage of Muscrath Draw. This arid landscape is sparsely marked by human activity, primarily defined by cattle-ranching infrastructure such as the Border Tank and the path of Hatchet Ranch Rd crossing into the northern survey sections. The map reveals the stark isolation of the borderlands, where the lack of established settlements highlights the environmental challenges of this high-desert region shared by Hidalgo County, New Mexico, and Chihuahua.
