About this map

Kermit sits in the northwest corner of this Roosevelt County landscape, positioned along the high-plains route of the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad. The terrain is defined by a series of depressions and ephemeral basins, most notably Badger Lake, Red Lake, and Baker Lake. This late-1970s survey reveals a high density of water infrastructure essential for ranching and industry in eastern New Mexico, with numerous named wells such as Kyle Well, Mc Dorman Well, and Wood Well dotting the sections. Industrial activity is visible through a scattered network including a Gravel Pit, a Drill Hole, and a prominent Pipeline cutting through the eastern sections. These features, alongside many unnamed Tank and Well sites, highlight the intensive management of groundwater and mineral resources in this arid cattle-country environment.
