The Chihuahuan Desert is the easternmost and southernmost of the four North American deserts: the Great Basin Desert, the Sonoran Desert, the Mojave Desert, and the Chihuahuan Desert.

Although a desert might be conceptualized as an island of aridity surrounded by better watered lands, deserts—unlike real islands—do not have distinct boundaries for all to see. As a result, different concepts have arisen through time as to what defines the Chihuahuan Desert and its boundaries.
