2017 Map of Buckeye

About this map

Buckeye anchors this high-plains landscape in Lea County, illustrating a rural New Mexico environment defined by its sparse infrastructure and section-line road network. The terrain is notably marked by the Mescalero Ridge in the southwestern corner, a prominent landform that breaks the flat expanse of the Permian Basin. This contemporary survey captures the specialized logistical layout of the region, where roads like Querecho Rd, Texas Camp Rd, and Buckeye Rd facilitate access across vast township and range divisions. The area labeled Texas Camp suggests the enduring presence of specific local encampments or industrial sites within this arid rangeland. Researchers will find a clear record of modern property boundaries and transport corridors serving the isolated settlements and energy-rich lands of southeastern New Mexico.
