2020 Map of Portair

About this map

Cannon Air Force Base dominates the southern landscape of this Curry County region, with the expansive airfield and base infrastructure of Cannon AFB positioned just west of the city limits. This portion of the High Plains illustrates a transition from the structured residential grid of western Clovis to the vast, irrigated agricultural tracts defined by a rigid network of section roads like W Llano Estacado Blvd and Curry Road 13. The small settlements of Portair and Gallaher sit near the base and railroad corridors, while Ranchvale marks a quiet northern outpost. This map documents a high-desert environment where military aviation and large-scale ranching intersect at the edge of one of New Mexico's most significant plains communities.
