2017 Map of Campbell

About this map

The settlement of Campbell lies at the heart of this Chaves County landscape, situated where the high plains meet the intricate drainage systems of the Pecos Valley region. The area is defined by its subtle but distinct topography, most notably the elevated Palma Mesa and the winding course of Lloyds Canyon. This 2017 survey reveals a rural infrastructure reliant on a network of localized roads, including Magdalena Rd, Mesilla Rd, and Zanes Rd, which crisscross the section lines of the Public Land Survey System. The presence of White Tank suggests the vital role of water management in this arid ranching country, where small-scale catchments are often the only reliable water sources for miles. The map provides a precise look at the township and range boundaries that have governed land ownership and cattle grazing in this part of New Mexico for over a century.
