1985 Map of Buckeye NE

About this map

Industrial infrastructure and the extraction economy of the Permian Basin characterize this corner of Lea County. The landscape is heavily marked by an extensive Oil Field, with numerous wells and access roads stretching across the high desert plains. A significant Aqueduct traverses the southwestern portion of the map, indicating the vital role of water management in this arid region. Near the southern boundary, a Gravel Pit points to local material sourcing for the area's development. This 1985 provisional edition, based on earlier aerial photography and field checks, provides a technical record of a terrain defined by its underground resources rather than traditional residential settlements.
