About this map

The New Mexico Texas state line bisects this 1960s landscape, where the high desert terrain is defined by a dense network of petroleum exploration. Large-scale production is evident throughout the region, with the Paddock South Oil Field, Drinkard Oil Field, and Nelson Oil Field marking the ground with numerous Oil Wells, drill holes, and gravel pits. The arid topography is dominated by the broad, meandering path of Monument Draw, which cuts through the western portion of the survey area. Human habitation is sparse in this industrial environment, centered on the Giles Ranch. An intricate web of unimproved roads and a Jeep Trail provide the primary means of navigation across the state boundary, connecting the various well sites and the southern State Line Oil Field at the edge of Andrews County.
