About this map

Portales Valley defines the topographic character of this 1980s landscape, where a sprawling network of irrigation and industry reveals the intensive agricultural use of the Roosevelt County basin. The terrain is marked by a high density of wells and several instances of wells, indicating the critical reliance on groundwater in this part of New Mexico. Industrial activity is grounded in several specific sites, including a feed lot and a gravel pit, which punctuate the rural sections alongside evidence of geologic exploration like a drill hole. Infrastructure is sparse but modern for the era, centered on a Trans Line Single Pole that traverses the territory, supporting the utility needs of the valley's distributed farming operations.
