USGS Topo · Published 1963About this map
The High Plains and the Permian Basin converge in this mid-century survey, where the infrastructure of the burgeoning petroleum and potash industries is etched into the arid landscape. The Texas-New Mexico RR serves as a critical corridor through the region, connecting the major hubs of Hobbs, Andrews, and Lovington. Industrial development is prominently marked by the Sulphur and Potash Company and a large Potash Mine and Plant in the western reaches, indicating the intensive resource extraction that shaped local economies during this era.
