About this map

Artesia sits at the southern edge of this landscape, where the street grid of the city begins to transition into the organized section lines of the Pecos River valley. The northern outskirts of the city are marked by residential and industrial development along routes like E Compress Rd and Swayback Rd, with the green space of Twin Oaks Memorial Park serving as a local landmark. Further north, the settlement of Espuela appears along the highway and rail corridor, centered near the intersection with E Cottonwood Rd.

The terrain is defined by the ephemeral drainage patterns of Walnut Creek and Cottonwood Cr, which cut eastward across the plains toward the Pecos River. This 2017 survey documents the modern road network servicing the local ranching and agricultural operations, including named thoroughfares such as Lawrence Ranch Rd and Chimeso Rd. The map also clearly delineates the administrative boundary between Chaves Co and Eddy Co, highlighting the jurisdictional transition north of Artesia.
