Chihuahua's Relief
The University of Arizona anthropologist,
Professor Anna Maria Alonso states that
Chihuahua is 45% desert, 30% dry
grassland and oak savanna, and 25% pine
forest and subtropical deciduous forest.
As a result, only 5 percent of its land area
is suitable for crops.
Much of western, central and southern
Chihuahua are dominated by the Sierra
Madre Occidental Mountain Range, which
occupies 43% of the surface area of the
state. Northern and eastern parts of the
state are part of the Chihuahua Desert,
which represents part of the Central
Plateau which runs southeastward into
Coahuila, Durango, Zacatecas and San Luis
Potosi. The sierras, deserts and plains that
dominate the north and east take up
about 57% of the surface area of the
state.
