The El Paso, Texas graticule is located around latitude 31, longitude -106.

Most of the graticule is in Mexico and the city of Juarez. Fort Bliss and desert occupy much of the land that actually is in the US, making this graticule not the best place for geohashers without a passport.

This is the northernmost graticule containing the part of the international boundary defined by the course of the category:Rio Grande.
