About this map

Roswell is depicted during a period of significant mid-century expansion, with urban development pushing north across Berrendo Creek toward the New Mexico Military Institute. The map captures a transition in local infrastructure, notably marking an Abandoned Airport and the complex rail operations of the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad through the city center.

Beyond the urban core, the landscape remains defined by established agricultural and ranching operations, including the Haley Ranch, Marley Farm, and the Forsite Homestead. The concentration of neighborhood infrastructure is evident through numerous parochial and public schools like St Johns Sch and El Capitan Sch. Public institutions such as the St Marys Hospital and the city's civic buildings are clustered south of Second Street, providing a clear view of the city's 1960s footprint.
