2022 Map of McNary

About this map

The Rio Grande serves as the international boundary on this modern survey, marking the jagged line between the United States and Mexico. The settlement of McNary sits at the northern edge of the map, serving as a hub for the intricate network of water management features that dominate this desert landscape. An engineered system of irrigation and drainage defines the land use here, visible through the paths of the Diablo Lateral, Madden Lateral, and Algodon Lateral. These channels, alongside the Wells Drain and Lower Drain, illustrate the intensive agricultural modification of the river valley. The terrain transitions from the alluvial bottomlands to the arid draws of the Arroyo Diablo, providing a clear record of how regional infrastructure like FM Rd 192 and Wilkey Rd navigates the borderlands.
