2013 Map of Bootleg Ridge

About this map

Bootleg Ridge rises above the southeastern New Mexico landscape, marking a topographically distinct area along the border of Eddy and Lea counties. This 2013 survey illustrates a landscape primarily defined by energy extraction and cattle ranching infrastructure. Extensive fossil fuel activity is documented through the presence of the Sand Dunes Oil Field in the west and the Triste Draw Oil Field to the southeast. These industrial zones are connected by a network of rural routes including Red Rd, Mills Ranch Rd, and Co Road 31. Water management in this arid environment is highlighted by features like Hayfield Tank, while the southern edge of the quadrangle is traversed by NM-128. The map provides a precise view of the Public Land Survey System grid, detailing sections across multiple townships such as t23s r32e.
