2020 Map of Otis

About this map

The southeastern outskirts of Carlsbad and the neighboring settlement of Otis anchor this high-desert landscape in Eddy County. The map details a complex network of rural and residential roads, including the historic Old Cavern Hwy and major thoroughfares like Us 285. The agricultural character of the region is evident through the vital water infrastructure provided by the Southern Canal and the course of the Pecos River in the northeastern corner. This 2020 survey illustrates how modern development interfaces with traditional land use, marked by features such as Walker Farm Rd and Airport Ave. The terrain is characterized by subtle drainage patterns like Cass Draw and a grid-based property system defined by various township and range lines. Local history and genealogy researchers can find specific interest in named family roads and established community boundaries that define the corridor south of the city.
