Hobbs serves as the primary urban center in this West Texas and New Mexico borderlands survey, where the grid of city streets meets the arid expanses of the Permian Basin. The map details the eastern expansion of the city, showing a dense network of residential and industrial thoroughfares including E Navajo Dr and E Stanolind Rd. The landscape is defined by its transition from the built environment to the open high plains, marked by ephemeral watercourses like Seminole Draw and Johnson Draw. For family historians, the inclusion of Prairie Haven Cem and Everglades Cem provides precise locations for local heritage sites. The interstate boundary between New Mexico and Texas cuts vertically through the center of the sheet, illustrating how political lines bisect this shared geographic region.
