The Allison Oil Field and Crossroads Oil Field define the industrial footprint of this high plains region in Lea County. In 2010, the landscape is marked by a precise, geometric network of local roads that serve both agricultural and petroleum extraction purposes. Transport across the terrain relies on a grid of numbered and lettered routes, such as S Roosevelt Road 44 and S Roosevelt Road L, which facilitate movement between scattered oil infrastructure and rural tracts. The presence of Bun Rd and various county arteries like County Rd-173 reflects the organized development of this corner of New Mexico. This map reveals the intersection of public land management and energy production in a landscape designed for utility and access.
