description Bolsón de Mapimí Overview
The Bolsón de Mapimí is a large endorheic basin in northern Mexico, principally spanning parts of Chihuahua, Coahuila, and Durango within the Chihuahuan Desert. Because its drainage has no outlet to the sea, water collects in internal depressions and evaporates, contributing to saline flats and arid soils. The basin includes the Mapimí Biosphere Reserve and the area popularly called the Zone of Silence, which is surrounded by folklore about unusual radio behavior.
