1978 Map of Button Mesa North

USGS Topo · Published 1986

About this map

The Chaveroo Oil Field dominates the eastern reaches of this High Plains landscape, where industrial infrastructure meets the arid terrain of Roosevelt and Chaves counties. Numerous named water sources, such as Boatwright Well, Baliff Well, and Mc Lorn Well, are scattered across the survey, underscoring the vital importance of groundwater for both ranching and petroleum operations in this region of eastern New Mexico. The topography is defined by the prominent Button Mesa and the nearby Vest Lake, with several Jeep Trails providing the primary means of navigating between the isolated drilling sites and gravel pits. These features suggest an economy centered on extraction and livestock, where the distribution of wells like First West Well and Jones Well tracks the historical development of the local water and mineral rights.
