2020 Map of Artesia

About this map

Artesia serves as the central hub of this Eddy County landscape, where a dense grid of streets like W Main St and W Grand Ave transitions into the surrounding agricultural and ranch lands. The community of Morningside sits to the northeast, while the settlement of Atoka anchors the southern portion of the map. Aviation history and regional transit are marked by the Artesia Municipal Airport to the west and the 2 X 4 Ranch Airport further south, illustrating the importance of air travel in this expansive terrain. Water drainage patterns are defined by the winding course of Eagle Cr and the topographical depression of Tumbleweed Draw, which cut through the survey's township and range sections. The map reveals the structured development of the high plains, where rural roads such as Gissler Rd and Richey Ave connect isolated ranching properties to the urban core.
