2010 Map of Artesia NE

About this map

Lake Arthur serves as the primary settlement at the northwestern edge of this Chaves County landscape, positioned along the meandering course of the Pecos River. The 2010 geography reveals a transition from small-town infrastructure, including the Lake Arthur Post Office, to an expansive network of rural county roads and ranch access routes. Waterways such as Walnut Creek, Cottonwood Creek, and the southern Dog Canyon Draw define the drainage patterns of this semi-arid basin. The road system, featuring named thoroughfares like Buffalo Valley Rd and Rat Camp Rd, reflects a landscape organized around cattle ranching and agricultural access. Local family history and land use are etched into the map through features like Karr Ranch Rd and Lawrence Ranch Rd, which mark the paths connecting isolated ranch sites to the regional trade center.
