2020 Map of Roswell South

About this map

The Rio Hondo cuts through the high plains of Chaves County, anchoring the southern landscape of Roswell as it appeared in the early 21st century. This survey documents the transition from the structured street grids of the city to the open terrain of the Pecos Valley, including the established community of Mountain View. The built environment is defined by significant educational and industrial footprints, most notably the Eastern New Mexico University - Roswell Campus and the sprawling facility of the Roswell International Air Center. Local history and genealogy are supported by the clear platting of neighborhoods around South Park Cem and the network of local routes like W Charleston Rd and S Plains Park Dr. To the southwest, the confluence of Rocky Arroyo with the larger river system highlights the natural drainage patterns that have historically shaped settlement in this arid region.
