2013 Map of Button Mesa South

About this map

The high plains of Chaves and Lea County are defined by a scattered network of ranching and petroleum infrastructure. Remote outposts like Cooper Ranch and U Bar Ranch sit amidst a series of critical water features, including White Tank and North Plains Tank, which sustain life in this arid landscape. The map illustrates a clear transition in land use, where traditional landmarks like High Lonesome Windmill share the terrain with more modern developments such as the Flying M South Oil Field.
