About this map

Elliott Oil Field and the Jal Monument Oil Field dominate this landscape along the border of New Mexico and Texas. The terrain is defined by the industrial infrastructure of the mid-century petroleum boom, featuring a dense network of pipelines, drill holes, and service sites like the Pumping Sta and a Radio Facility. While the small settlement of Jones City appears on the western edge, much of the area remains open rangeland punctuated by landmarks like Windmill Hill and the natural drainage of Monument Draw. A rare water source, Baker Spring, is located near the center of the survey, while a Roadside Park along the main east-west thoroughfare provides one of the few public landmarks in this corner of Lea and Andrews Counties.
