About this map

Homestead Meadows and a dense network of surrounding colonias define the residential landscape of this region east of El Paso during the first decade of the 2000s. The map illustrates a grid of developing subdivisions, including Homestead Meadows South Number 5 Colonia and Paso View West Colonia, which reflect the rapid suburbanization of the Chihuahuan Desert floor. While much of the land remains divided into large, undeveloped tracts, the concentration of homes in areas like Rockhouse and Deerfield Park Colonia shows the ongoing transformation of the Texas borderlands.

Water infrastructure is critical to this arid environment, evidenced by the Hueco Water Wells and Deep Well labels. These features, along with major thoroughfares like N Zaragosa Rd and Ascension Rd, provide the framework for the area's growth. The proximity of these settlements to the New Mexico border and the surrounding desert peaks creates a unique pattern of isolated residential pockets linked by long, straight desert roads.
