2013 Map of Mount Riley SE

About this map

The United States of America Estados Unidos Mexicanos international boundary anchors this survey of the high desert in southern New Mexico. The landscape is dominated by the stark elevations of the East Potrillo Mountains in the northeast and the distinctive Riley Black Standpipe Mt further west. Human infrastructure in this arid environment is sparse, centered primarily on the transit corridors of NM-9 and CO Road A6, which parallel the border. Water sources, vital for land use in this terrain, are represented by isolated features such as Sand Tank and Border Tank. The map provides a precise layout of the Public Land Survey System grid across portions of t28s r3w and t29s r2w, illustrating how the township and range system organizes this borderland geography.
