About this map

High plains ranching and energy extraction define this 2010 landscape in Lea County. The area is marked by a network of local thoroughfares such as Natural Rd and Patterson, which connect isolated homesteads and industrial sites. Family-named outposts including Edson Ranch, Martin Ranch, and Williams Ranch are scattered across the quadrangle, reflecting the long-standing cattle-raising tradition of the Llano Estacado.

Industrial activity is anchored by the South Saunders Oil Field in the northeast and the East Anderson Oil Field to the west, signaling the region's reliance on petroleum resources. Scattered water sources, critical for both livestock and drilling operations, are identified by landmarks like Bulltrap Windmill, East Windmill, and West Windmill. This map provides a clear record of the rural infrastructure and land use patterns common to the southeastern corner of New Mexico.
