2013 Map of Hillburn City SW

About this map

The Morton Oil Field anchors the southern portion of this Lea County landscape, reflecting the long-standing energy infrastructure of the Permian Basin. This 2013 survey illustrates a rectilinear grid of section lines and county roads, such as Co Road 108 and Watson Rd, that partition the arid high plains. The terrain is sparsely populated, defined primarily by its industrial and agricultural utility rather than urban centers. Small-scale water infrastructure like the West Jim Windmill in the northwest corner speaks to the traditional ranching heritage that persists alongside oil extraction. Local landmarks such as Hilburn and Hightop provide geographic orientation within the sprawling townships of t14s r34e and t15s r35e. The map also captures several named tracks including Martine Ln and Alma Ln, which serve the remote operations scattered across this high-desert plateau.
