About this map

Hillburn City serves as the focal point of this Lea County landscape, illustrating a specialized settlement pattern shaped by the region's energy resources. The map highlights the extensive footprint of the Caudill Oil Field, where a network of pipelines and infrastructure like the Pumping Sta define the local economy and land use during the 1970s and early 1980s.

Away from the industrial activity, the terrain is marked by essential rural landmarks such as Cox Cemetery and the Dean Windmill. Unique features like the Zip Landing Area suggest the logistical needs of this remote high-plains environment, while multiple Gravel Pit locations and Drill Hole sites point to active resource extraction. This survey, updated with purple revisions from 1982, provides a precise record of the infrastructure and survey lines that organized this part of New Mexico.
