About this map

The Pecos River carves a winding path through this Eddy County landscape, defined by dramatic river geography such as Herradura Bend, Culebra Bluff, and Gyp Bend. The village of Loving serves as the primary hub, surrounded by a network of agricultural and industrial infrastructure including the Southern Canal and the Harroun Ditch. This era of development is marked by the presence of Potash Mines Rd, signaling the importance of the regional mineral industry.

Local landmarks such as Bushy Knob and Scoggin Flat provide distinct reference points for genealogists tracing land tracts in the T23S R28E and R29E townships. The map details a transition from the riparian environment of the river to the arid features of the Chihuahuan Desert, reaching out toward Salt Lake on the eastern edge. It documents the late-2010s street grid of Loving, from W Poplar St down to S 4th St.
