About this map

Pecos River waters and the Main Canal define the eastern edge of this landscape, supporting the growth of West Carlsbad and the adjacent Army Air Field during the mid-1940s. The survey reveals a region transitioning from ranching outposts to more intensive military and agricultural use. Numerous family-named sites like the Frank Jones Ranch, Gerry Smith Ranch, and Denny Ranch are scattered across the terrain, indicating the deep roots of local cattle operations.
