About this map

Boone Draw carves a path through this corner of Roosevelt County, defining a landscape marked by scattered Sand Dunes and industrial infrastructure. The high plains terrain is notably bisected by the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad, which runs diagonally across the southeastern portion of the map. Near the southern border, the small settlement of Kermit serves as a local landmark, anchored by a Radio Tower and its proximity to the rail line.

Energy and resource extraction are evident through the presence of a Drill Hole, a Gravel Pit, and a substantial Pipeline that cuts through the western sections. The map also documents local water management in this arid environment, specifically identifying a Well in the northern reaches. This 1970s survey, updated with 1980s aerial photography, captures a transitional period of rural New Mexico where traditional transportation routes and modern utilities converge.
