2018 Map of Coleen A-5 SE

About this map

Deacons Rock stands as a prominent landmark in this 2018 topographic study of the region surrounding Plaza Huincul. The map details the expansive arid terrain of the Neuquén Basin, a territory defined by its significant role in Argentina's energy history since the first oil discovery at Pozo N° 1 in 1918. While the landscape is characterized by its vast open spaces and sparse vegetation typical of the Patagonian steppe, the cartography meticulously records the section lines of various townships, including t27n r21e, t26n r21e, and t25n r21e. These surveyed grids reflect the organized industrial and agricultural development that has shaped the area. Geologists and historians can trace the relationship between the natural topography and the human-imposed boundaries that manage the region's vital natural resources.
