About this map

Azotea Peak and the surrounding Guadalupe Mountains dominate this landscape in Eddy County, defined by a complex system of deep draws and high mesas. The terrain is marked by significant topographical relief, where Shafer Canyon and Walt Canyon cut through the arid heights near the Seven Rivers Hills. Water sources are vital local landmarks in this environment, evidenced by named sites such as Indian Big Spring, Walt Spring, and Rounds Waterhole.

Genealogists and local historians will find the Rocky Arroyo Cem located along the winding path of Rocky Arroyo, a central drainage feature that dictates the local geography. The map also reveals land use through the naming of Schoolhouse Canyon and various livestock-related water features like Middle Fork Waterhole. This survey provides a precise view of the Azotea Mesa region as it appeared in the early 21st century.
