About this map

Clayton Basin defines this high desert landscape along the border of Eddy and Lea counties, where industrial activity and ranching meet. The Potash Co of America Mine stands as a significant industrial landmark in the west, while a long-distance Pipeline and the southern tracks of the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad underscore the regional infrastructure of the mid-20th century.
