About this map

Eunice dominates the high plains of the Monument Jal Oil Field in this late 1960s survey, showing a landscape deeply shaped by the petroleum industry. Numerous oil wells, pipelines, and a prominent Gas Plant surround the residential center, illustrating the economic drivers of Lea County during this era. The town infrastructure includes a High Sch, a Cem, and specialized local landmarks like the Rodeo Ground and a Drive-in Theater.

The industrial character is balanced by public spaces such as the Eunice Municipal Recreation Area and Roadside Park. Regional transportation and logistics are anchored by the Texas and New Mexico railroad and the Lea County-Eunice Airport. Beyond the town limits, natural features like Hardy Flats and Monument Draw define the terrain, while the small settlement of Jones City appears to the northeast, marking a secondary pocket of development.
