About this map

Roswell's northern expansion is clearly visible in this early 21st-century record, where residential street grids give way to the sprawling agricultural and ranching landscape of Chaves County. The map documents a transition from the urban center, anchored by the Roswell Post Office, to the outlining homesteads and working lands that define the region. Family names are preserved through markers such as Haley Ranch, Marley Farm, and the McKnight and Cooper Ranch, illustrating the persistent role of cattle and farming on the city's periphery.

Water management and natural drainage are central to the terrain, with Middle Berrendo Creek and Eightmile Draw cutting across the north, while the Rio Hondo and North Spring River frame the southern reaches. Infrastructure for local travel and industry is well-represented, including the Sixmile Station and the Two Link Ranch Airport, alongside the newly developed Roswell Bypass. This survey provides a precise accounting of land use at a time when traditional ranching properties were increasingly meeting the modern suburban edge.
