1973 Map of Cooper-Good Ranch

USGS Topo · Published 1976

About this map

Caprock terrain dominates this corner of Lea County, where the high plains of New Mexico meet a landscape defined by 1970s energy extraction. The map reveals an intensive network of petroleum infrastructure, with numerous Oil Wells and a dense concentration of Drill Holes spread across the Caprock Oil Field and Baum North Oil Field. This industrial activity is superimposed over a traditional ranching environment, characterized by isolated homesteads and long-established property lines. The presence of the Cooper-Good Ranch, Price Ranch, and Tulk Ranch alongside a specialized Pumping Sta and an extensive Pipeline network illustrates the coexistence of the region's cattle-raising heritage and its mid-century oil boom. Surveyed in the early 1970s, the map provides a precise look at the rural road system and the scattered Gravel Pits that supported both ranching and drilling operations during this period.
