Desert, mountains and border country

El Paso anchors a sheet stretching across southern New Mexico, far western Texas and a broad part of northern Mexico. The Chihuahuan Desert defines much of the landscape, broken by the Guadalupe and Davis mountains, the ranges around Big Bend and isolated ridges rising from open basins. The Rio Grande forms the central geographical thread through El Paso and the border country before turning through the rugged south-west Texas interior. Farther east, the terrain opens towards the western edge of the Permian Basin and the plains beyond.

Connections with adjoining sheets

Routes continuing north move onto the Albuquerque chart, while north-westerly coverage connects with Phoenix. San Antonio adjoins directly to the east, with Dallas–Fort Worth taking over towards the north-east and Brownsville towards the south-east. Together, those joins matter for longer flights linking the desert Southwest with central and southern Texas: this sheet covers the mountainous transition, while the neighbouring charts carry the route into broader plains and Gulf-facing country.

Common questions

What area does the El Paso Sectional Chart cover?

It spans 27.5°N to 32.3°N and 109.9°W to 102.4°W. Airports on the sheet fall within Arizona, New Mexico and Texas. The full list of public-use airports within its coverage is on this page.

Should I download the GeoTIFF or the PDF?

Take the GeoTIFF if you are loading the chart into moving-map software or a flight planner — it is georeferenced, so the software can place it correctly on a map, and it ships with a world file and FGDC metadata at 300 dpi (54.3 MB). Take the PDF to print it or read it on a second screen (117.7 MB); it is the same chart without georeferencing.

Is this the current El Paso chart?

This is the FAA edition effective 9 July 2026, which is superseded on 3 September 2026. Visual charts are reissued every 56 days and we publish each new edition on the day it takes effect. It is for flight simulation and reference only — not for real-world navigation.

Which charts adjoin the El Paso sheet?

San Antonio to the east, Albuquerque to the north, Phoenix to the north-west, Brownsville to the south-east and Dallas-Ft Worth to the north-east. Each is linked from this page, so a route running off one edge can be continued on the next sheet.

Is the El Paso Sectional Chart free to download?

Yes, with no account required. FAA charts are United States Government works and are not subject to copyright protection in the US under 17 U.S.C. § 105. Guest downloads are speed-capped, so a sheet this size takes a while; PRO members download at full line speed and can take the whole family as one archive.
