2010 Map of Hillburn City SW

About this map

Morton Oil Field sits at the heart of this grid-defined landscape in Lea County, illustrating the industrial character of southeastern New Mexico's plains. The map reveals an area dominated by energy extraction and infrastructure, where a network of rural routes including Hilburn Rd and County Rd-104 connects isolated work sites and landmarks. Small-scale resource management is evident at the Lea County Road Pit, while the presence of the West Jim Windmill points to the continued importance of water access in this arid terrain. The labeling of Hilburn and Hightop highlights specific locales within the expansive cattle and oil country, providing essential reference points for understanding the settlement and land-use patterns of the early 21st century.
