2020 Map of Steins

About this map

Steins sits at the northern edge of this high-desert landscape in Hidalgo County, where the infrastructure of the American Southwest meets the foothills of the Peloncillo Mountains. This modern record of the terrain highlights the complex network of ranch and mining roads, such as McGhee Mine Rd and Smith Ranch Rd, that crisscross the land to access remote landmarks like McGhee Wells and Johnny Bull Gap. The topographic data reveals the prominence of local elevations including Cedar Mtn, Attorney Mtn, and McGhee Peak. To the south, the Cotton City Community Bridge provides a point of reference for local connectivity near Wood Canyon. The map preserves the spatial relationship between legacy land divisions, such as t24s r21w, and the natural ridges of Still Ridge and Blue Mtn.
