Loco Hills sits in the northwest corner of this high-desert landscape in Eddy County, where the topography is defined by subtle depressions and low rises. A network of local infrastructure, including Grubbs Rd and Co Road 250, provides access to the oil and gas fields that characterize this portion of the Permian Basin. The terrain gently descends toward Hackberry Lake and the prominent limestone-capped Nimenim Ridge, highlighting the drainage patterns of the Chihuahuan Desert. Significant thoroughfares like NM-360 and Co Hwy 222 intersect the region, connecting isolated industrial sites and livestock operations. This 2013 survey documents the intersection of natural features like the ridge with the extensive road network required for regional energy extraction and ranching.
