About this map

Rio Hondo and Rocky Arroyo define the hydraulic landscape of this New Mexico quadrangle, where a complex network of ditches and windmills supports an extensive ranching economy. The settlement patterns of the late 1940s are visible in the family-named operations such as Mayes Ranch, Brown Bros Ranch, and Brookshier Ranch. On the southern outskirts of Roswell, the map documents established residential and civic landmarks including South Park, the Mountain View Sch, and a local Cemetery. Transportation and infrastructure are anchored by the A T & S F railroad and the Airport Road corridor, while the western horizon is dominated by the prominence of Six Mile Hill. This survey captures the transition from open range to a more structured agricultural and suburban environment before the significant post-war expansion of the Pecos Valley.
