The high plains of eastern New Mexico define this region, where the small community of Gladiola sits at the intersection of a vast grid of ranch and oil roads. This landscape is characterized by the critical infrastructure of the cattle and energy industries, notably the Gladiola Oil Field and dozens of family-named landmarks. These features, such as Two Section Presley Windmill and Old Graham Windmill, illustrate the vital role of groundwater management in this arid territory.
