2010 Map of Henshaw Tank

About this map

Mescalero Sands dominates this landscape in Chaves County, revealing a region defined by its subsurface mineral wealth and specialized desert infrastructure. The map depicts a sophisticated network of oil production facilities, including the Cedar Point Oil Field in the north and the West Henshaw Oil Field to the west. These industrial zones are connected by a grid of rural thoroughfares such as Hagerman Cutoff Rd and Square Lake Rd, which provide access to essential water management features like Henshaw Tank and Bogle Tank. The concentration of named sites like the Little Lucky Lakes Oil Field and North Square Lake Oil Field illustrates the intensive energy development characterizing this part of New Mexico during the early 21st century.
