About this map

Lake Arthur serves as the primary hub in this arid landscape near the Chaves and Eddy County line. The settlement, featuring its local Po at the intersection of E Broadway Rd and 1st St, is defined by its proximity to the wandering path of the Pecos River. The river corridor is joined by several ephemeral drainage systems, including Walnut Creek and Cottonwood Creek, which cut through the open plains.

A network of rural roads such as Buffalo Valley Rd and Rat Camp Rd connect the isolated ranching properties that characterize the region. Names like Karr Ranch Rd and Lawrence Ranch Rd highlight the family-run operations central to the local economy. To the south, the terrain begins to transition near Dog Canyon Draw, reflecting the typical hydrology and land-use patterns of southeastern New Mexico during this early 21st-century period.
