2010 Map of Portales

About this map

Portales serves as the focal point of this Eastern New Mexico landscape, situated within the broad Portales Valley. The town's grid is characterized by the expansive campus of Eastern New Mexico University and the central Portales Post Office. As a regional hub in Roosevelt County, the area is defined by a dense network of sectional roads like S Roosevelt Road 3 and S Roosevelt Road 8 that serve the surrounding agricultural and residential developments. To the south, the Rest Lawn Memorial Cemetery and Virginia Estates Subd Rd mark the transition toward more rural terrain. Smaller pockets of settlement, such as Mesilla Park in the northeast, underscore the community's outward growth along established corridors at the start of the 21st century.
