1962 Map of Roswell South

USGS Topo · Published 1964

About this map

Roswell expands southward in the early 1960s, a period marked by the significant presence of Walker Air Force Base. The transition from the dense urban grid of the city to the surrounding agricultural landscape is clearly defined by several family-held properties, including Sacra Farm and Brown Bros Ranch. The southern residential districts are anchored by local institutions such as Monterey Sch and the extensive South Park Cemetery, while the northern portion of the base shows a developed network of athletic fields and a Golf Course. Hydrology in the area is dominated by the Rio Hondo, showing both its current course and a distinct Old Channel that suggests the historical shifting of the riverbed. This survey, revised in 1962, captures the intersection of military aviation history and the steady growth of the Roswell community during the Cold War era.
