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.
