2013 Map of Cedar Point

About this map

Mescalero Ridge dominates the southeastern quadrant of this terrain, where the high plains break at the prominent landmark of Cedar Point. This landscape is defined by the infrastructure of the energy and ranching industries, featuring several distinct petroleum operations including the Vest Camp Oil Field, Sulimar Oil Field, and Double Oil Field. The scarcity of water in this Chaves County environment is evident through a network of specialized features such as Scrambled Eggs Windmills, Deep Tank Windmill, and Myers Windmill. Cattle tanks like Little Lucky Tank and Philley Tank are scattered across the survey, connected by local routes like Cindy Rd and Katrina Rd. This map captures the mid-century transition of the New Mexico backcountry, where traditional grazing lands are overlaid with the systematic development of modern oil fields.
