Abstract
An examination of the topography represented on five different maps of the state of Chihuahua, Mexico, demonstrated a remarkable degree of uniformity physiographic features in the northeastern part of the state. In the latter instance, at least, one point of agreement concerned the existence of a “Bolson de Mapimi.” While the existence of the feature appeared to be assured, its location varied with the different maps. Not only was the variation north and south, but also east and west, with some maps having the larger extent of the basin in Coahuila while others located the feature almost entirely in Chihuahua.
