About this map

South Spring Ranch and the nearby community of South Spring anchor this 2013 survey of the landscape southeast of Roswell. The terrain is defined by its sophisticated water management and historical ranching roots, where the Hagerman Canal snakes through the eastern half of the sheet, drawing from the Pecos River. The confluence of the Rio Hondo and the S Spring River in the northeast corner highlights the critical role of surface water in this arid New Mexico environment.

Local development is visible in the transition from established settlements like Fairbanks and East Grand Plains to the newer residential footprints at South Spring Acres. To the south, the map details the rural corridor along the Old Dexter Hwy, connecting Midway, Chisum, and Orchard Park. This survey captures the region's enduring character as a hub of agricultural irrigation and dispersed settlement patterns on the Pecos valley floor.
