2020 Map of Seven Rivers

About this map

Seven Rivers anchors the northern reaches of this New Mexico landscape, situated where several major desert drainages converge. The map details a complex hydrological environment characterized by numerous natural water sources, including Roaring Spring, Bubbling Spring, and the Twin Boils Spring, all located near the eastern margin. These springs historically supported life in the arid Eddy County basin before the modern infrastructure of the Seven Rivers Airport or the local road network was established. To the south, the topography rises sharply into the Seven Rivers Hills, a prominent area of high relief that contrasts with the drainage basins of Willow Draw and Rocky Arroyo. The intersection of multiple watercourses, such as Middle Seven Rivers and South Seven Rivers, suggests a long history of water management and land use in this specific corner of the Pecos River valley system.
