Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Eddy County, New Mexico: The Most Southeastern County in the Territory Eddy County is the Riviera of New Mexico. It is a garden spot of the great lower Pecos Valley which extends north and south 120 miles, and east and west between the foothills, from five to thirty miles. It is the most southeastern and lowest in altitude of the counties of the Territory. Its southern and eastern boundaries are Texas. On the west lie Otero and Chaves Counties, and on the north Chaves County. The area is 4,163,575 acres, or 6,506 square miles, almost equal to that of New Jersey, larger than Connecticut, over three times that of Delaware, and more than six times that of Rhode Island. The Hawaiian Islands with their population of 119,000 could be placed in Eddy County and not touch the boundary at any point. Of this area, 3,800,000 acres, of which 2,250.000 acres are still to be surveyed, are government land, subject to homestead, desert or mineral entry. The county is the sixth in size among New Mexico counties, the twentieth in population, which according to the census of 1900 was 3,229, but is 5,000 at present.
