About this map

Hagerman Canal defines the eastern agricultural edge of this New Mexico landscape, channeling vital water through the Pecos River valley. The terrain is characterized by a grid of rural roads and drainage features such as Thirteenmile Draw and Zubi Draw, which underscore the region's reliance on managed water systems. Aviation is a visible component of the local infrastructure, with both Benedict Airpark and Jenkins Airport serving the area west of the canal.

Evidence of the region's cattle-driving history persists in road names like Old Chisum Trl and Old Chisum Ln, which parallel the modern thoroughfares. The northern reaches are dominated by the Roswell Correctional Center, while the rest of the sheet shows a systematic division of land into sections, primarily accessed by roads like Se Main St and Cherokee Rd that serve the outlying ranch and farm properties.
