2017 Map of Artesia

About this map

Artesia serves as the central hub of this 2017 study, showing a grid of residential and industrial development in the Pecos Valley. The map captures the city's expansion north toward Morningside and south to the community of Atoka. Aviation is a significant theme of the landscape, marked by the Artesia Municipal Airport northwest of the city center and the smaller 2 X 4 Ranch Airport to the southeast. Water management and drainage are evidenced by the winding path of Eagle Cr and the southern basin of Tumbleweed Draw. This survey provides a modern view of the transport network, including the prominent north-south corridor of Route 285, which links the various settlements and ranches across the Eddy County terrain.
