About this map

Roswell expands southward into the Chaves County plains on this 2010 topographic record, where the transition from urban streets to sprawling ranchland is clearly defined. The northern portion of the sheet is dominated by the residential grid of Mountain View and the extensive grounds of the South Park Cemetery. Further south, the landscape is shaped by the expansive Roswell Industrial Air Center Airport, a massive facility that reflects the region's aviation and economic infrastructure.

Beyond the city limits, the terrain is marked by established family operations and rural industry, including the Brown Brothers Ranch, Williams and Chesser Ranch, and Kerr Ranch. Waterways such as the Rio Hondo and Rocky Arroyo cut through the western reaches, while the Mullinix Pit suggests local quarrying activity. This survey captures a moment when traditional New Mexico ranching culture and modern aviation infrastructure exist side-by-side on the outskirts of the Pecos Valley’s primary hub.
