1969 Map of Eunice SE

About this map

Guinn Ranch stands as the primary residential landmark in this arid stretch of the High Plains, where the border between New Mexico and Texas is defined by the industrial expansion of the mid-century oil boom. The landscape is heavily marked by the Drinkard Oil Field, Paddock South Oil Field, and Nelson Oil Field, revealing an environment dominated by energy extraction. These fields are characterized by a dense network of drill holes, oil wells, and gravel pits, linked by an emerging infrastructure of access roads and a Jeep Trail. Topographically, the area is dissected by the long, dry path of Monument Draw, which snakes through the Freund Oil Field. The presence of the State Line Oil Field along the southern margin underscores how the Permian Basin's mineral wealth dictated the development of the Lea and Andrews county line long after initial settlement.
