About this map

Rio Hondo and the Pecos River converge east of the growing outskirts of Roswell, shaping a landscape defined by water management and rural settlement. The presence of the Hagerman Canal and the S Spring River underscores the region's reliance on irrigation, while the grid-like road network supports outlying communities such as Fairbanks and South Spring. This area reflects the transition from open agricultural land to residential developments like South Spring Acres and East Grand Plains.

To the south, the settlements of Midway and Chisum anchor the corridor near Benedict Airpark. These smaller hubs are connected by an extensive system of numbered county roads, tracing the heritage of land divisions in Chaves County. The map provides a detailed view of the interaction between the natural river systems and the engineered waterways that have sustained this part of the Pecos Valley for generations.
