About this map

Vest Camp Oil Field and Sulimar Oil Field dominate this section of Chaves County, New Mexico, reflecting the intensive energy infrastructure across this arid landscape. The map shows a network of resource extraction and water management, where numerous named windmills and water tanks sustain activity in a region sparse with permanent settlements. Notable landmarks such as Deep Tank Windmill and the whimsically named Scrambled Eggs Windmills serve as vital markers for local navigation and ranching operations.

Surface transportation is defined by specialized routes including Hagerman Cutoff Rd, Cindy Rd, and Katrina Rd, which crisscross the plains to connect remote drilling sites and watering holes. The terrain rises slightly toward the topographic feature of Cedar Point in the southeast, while man-made water catchments like Philley Tank and Brooks Tank provide the few interruptions in the desert landscape, illustrating the critical nature of water and mineral rights in this high-plains environment.
