2020 Map of Guadalupe Pass

About this map

Guadalupe Pass serves as a critical topographic break in the high desert, positioned where the Guadalupe Mountains meet the Peloncillo Mountains along the international border. This modern survey delineates the boundary between the United States and Mexico, capturing a landscape defined by arroyos and isolated water sources. The mapping of Clark Tank, Corral Tank, and Garcia Tank underscores the importance of water management in this arid ranching environment. While the southern half of the map extends into Mexico, the northern portion follows the rectangular survey system of Hidalgo County, New Mexico, showing the transition from mountain slopes to the alluvial fans of the desert floor.
