the mining area around El Triunfo is full of terracing walls 
haven't found out yet what they were for 
usually 10 to 15 ft apart 
in addition to hundreds of miles of property walls (you gotta protect your mining claim) 
thanks to the time slider in Google Earth you can select images of dry years with no foliage 
and thanks to the building boom in BCS, the new sat images are high resolution 
took me a few years to find the walls

here is a very prominent example of a mining claim wall 
right next to the highway to El Triunfo 
1.10 m wide - 50" 
 23°47'35.79"N, 110° 8'33.96"W

Thanks for sharing those Harald, seems these walls are a lot more common down there than I realized!

This thread is currently the most interesting in the forum in my opinion.... some good theories/explanations offered so far.... 
 
BUT, there's got to be some verifiable info as to range of reasons for old/newer line constructs. 
 
   
 
 
 
 
Don't believe everything you think....
