EnglishWhat the CBP Smart Wall Map Shows
Updated
The CBP Smart Wall Map shows the status of border barriers along the 1,954-mile border between the United States and Mexico. It is the CBP website's visual reference for where border barrier segments stand, and it is accessible directly from the CBP homepage under "CBP Highlights."
What the map covers
The map's scope is defined by a single figure: the 1,954-mile U.S.–Mexico border. Within that span, the map displays the status of border barriers — that is, which segments of the border have barrier in place and how those segments are characterized. CBP presents this as a status view rather than a construction schedule or a cost tracker.
What the map is for
The Smart Wall Map functions as a public-facing status reference. It lets a reader see, in geographic form, how border barrier coverage is distributed along the southwest border instead of reading about it in prose. Because it is published by CBP itself, it is a primary source for the agency's own account of barrier status, which makes it useful for:
- Checking the general extent and location of barrier segments
- Comparing barrier coverage across different stretches of the border
- Citing CBP's own presentation of barrier status in research or reporting
How to reach it
From the CBP homepage, the map appears in the "CBP Highlights" section as "Smart Wall Map," with a "View the Map" link. The homepage also groups related tasks under "I Want To:" — Apply or Renew Global Entry, Apply for an ESTA, Find an I-94 Record, Find All Trusted Traveler Programs, View Border Wait Times, and Learn About CBP Career Paths — so the map sits alongside travel and trade tools rather than in a separate data section.
Where it fits among CBP's other resources
The Smart Wall Map is one of several information products CBP surfaces on its homepage. Others include:
| Resource | What it provides |
|---|---|
| Stats and Summaries Dashboards | Statistical data covering border security, trade, and travel |
| Trusted Traveler Mobile App | A single place for trusted traveler program needs |
| Official Notice of Extension, Suspension and Liquidation | Official notice website for trade-related notices |
| Congressional Resources | Single point of contact between CBP and Congress |
If your question is about barrier status specifically, the Smart Wall Map is the direct source. If your question is about numbers behind border security, trade, or travel more broadly, the Stats and Summaries Dashboards are the better starting point.
A note on what the map does not do
The available CBP homepage material describes the map as showing barrier status along the border. It does not indicate that the map provides construction timelines, contracting details, or cost figures. Treat it as a geographic status view, and look to CBP's statistical dashboards or news releases for other kinds of border data.
