2013 Map of Newman SW

About this map

Chaparral straddles the border of New Mexico and Texas, spreading across the desert floor of the Tularosa Valley. In 2013, the community’s grid-like expansion is clearly defined against the backdrop of the Franklin Mountains to the southwest. This landscape is a patchwork of residential development and arid terrain, characterized by a complex network of local roads such as Nike Air Rd, Rim Rock Rd, and Paseo Real Dr. The map provides a look at local hydrology and infrastructure in this borderland, featuring isolated water points like Sand Tank and Quirke Lake. Notable for genealogists and local historians, the sheet identifies specific street names and land divisions that mark the growth of this desert settlement, including Hermosa Dr and Oasis Dr, situated near the intersection of NM-213 and the state line.
