New Mexico State Road 2

It travels southeast from U.S. Route 285 (US 285), outside of Roswell, New Mexico, passing through Midway.

After 1927, State Road 2 ran from the Texas line southeast of Malaga to the Colorado border northeast of Chama.

The older routing was at first designated US 285 Alternate, but was renumbered as an extension of NM 2 by the 1970s.

Part of the original US 285 re-alignment south of Roswell was cut off by the mid 1960s extension north of Artesia.
