About this map

The Cato Oil Field dominates the northwest corner of this high plains landscape in eastern Chaves County, illustrating the intensive petroleum extraction of the late 1970s. The terrain is marked by a dense network of Drill Holes, Oil Wells, and subterranean pipelines that crisscross the arid environment. Water management for industrial or ranching use is evident through several named infrastructure points, such as Wilcox Tanks and Sand Tanks, alongside individual water sources like Sampson Well and State Well. Human activity is further revealed by a remote Jeep Trail in the southern sections and various Gravel Pits used for road maintenance or site preparation in this resource-heavy corner of New Mexico.
