2020 Map of Spring Lake

About this map

The eastern edges of Artesia meet the wandering course of the Pecos River in this 2020 landscape. This area of Eddy County is defined by its drainage patterns, where numerous seasonal watercourses like Dog Canyon Draw, Hart Canyon, and Logan Draw feed into the river valley from the surrounding heights. To the south, Spring Lake and Tumbleweed Draw indicate a low-lying riparian environment that has long influenced the local settlement pattern. Beyond the irrigated fields near the river, the map documents an extensive network of rural roads such as Chalk Bluff Rd and Empire Rd that serve the outlying ranching and industrial lands. The small community of Riverside sits east of the river along the highway, illustrating the secondary clusters of development that followed the established transport corridors through the Pecos valley.
