Buckeye sits at the intersection of NM-238 and Co Road 50 in the arid landscape of Lea County. This region is defined by a reliance on groundwater and petroleum extraction, evidenced by the numerous named water sources like North Windmill, Bryant Windmill, and Hackberry Windmill scattered across the township grids. To the west, the striking elevation change of Mescalero Ridge breaks the horizon, while the industrial footprint of the Vacuum Oil Field and E K Oil Field marks the importance of the Permian Basin's resources to the local economy.
