About this map

Rio Hondo and Rocky Arroyo define the hydrological landscape of the Pecos Valley, providing the vital water source that supported the area's transition from open range to established agricultural estates. This part of Chaves County illustrates the convergence of urban development and historic land use, where the suburban expansion of Mountain View meets large-scale ranching operations such as Brown Brothers Ranch and Goodin Ranch. The grid of residential streets like W Poe St and Wyoming Ave gives way to the expansive facilities of the Roswell International Air Center Airport.

Educational and civic infrastructure is prominently featured, most notably the Eastern New Mexico University-Roswell Campus and the nearby S Park Cem. The map documents the persistent agricultural heritage of the region through specific legacy labels like Sacra Farm and the Williams and Chesser Ranch, which highlight the importance of family-owned landholdings in the local economy even as the city grew.
