2020 Map of Hope NE

About this map

N Cottonwood Cr and S Cottonwood Cr converge to form Cottonwood Cr in this rural expanse of southeastern New Mexico. The landscape is defined by the section lines of the Public Land Survey System, which dictate the placement of local thoroughfares such as Indianapolis Rd and Raleigh Rd. Along the boundary between Chaves Co and Eddy Co, the map reveals a network of roads that service the ranching and agricultural operations of the region. Distinctive local names like Ogallalla Rd, White Tail Rd, and W Bittersweet Rd suggest the cultural and natural influences on the area's development. This 2020 survey is an essential resource for understanding modern land use and drainage patterns in a territory where water courses and property lines are the primary drivers of human movement.
