2023 Map of Greenwood Lake

About this map

Greenwood Lake serves as a primary geographic anchor in this section of the Chihuahuan Desert, situated along the border of Eddy and Lea Counties. The landscape is defined by a dense network of oil and gas access roads, such as Shugart Rd and Westall Rd, which crisscross the grid of the Public Land Survey System. These roads trace the industrial development of the Permian Basin, connecting remote well sites across Township 18 South, Range 31 East and neighboring tracts. The topography is marked by numerous depressions and flats, characteristic of the region's karstic and aeolian surface. Modern infrastructure like Lusk Rd and Co Rd 126 provides the primary transit corridors through this arid terrain, where historical land boundaries meet contemporary energy extraction.
