About this map

The Seven Rivers settlement sits at the heart of this Eddy County landscape, where the confluence of several watercourses defines the local geography. The desert drainage system is clearly visible, featuring the North Seven River, Middle Seven Rivers, and South Seven River, which converge east of the primary transportation corridor. The Seven Rivers Hwy serves as the main north-south artery, passing the Seven Rivers Airport and connecting the small cluster of buildings with the broader region.

South of the settlement, the terrain shifts into the prominent Seven Rivers Hills, where steep elevation changes are marked by Willow Draw. To the far south, Rocky Arroyo flows toward the eastern wetlands, while a network of rural routes like Queens Hwy and Capitan Reef Rd provide access to the surrounding ranching and oil-producing lands. This survey captures a moment of transition for the community, illustrating the modern road grid imposed upon the ancient natural hydrology of the Pecos River basin.
