USGS Topo · Published 1974About this map
The High Plains and Permian Basin transition is captured here in 1954, as the oil industry reshaped the landscape of the Texas-New Mexico border. Industrial hubs like Hobbs and Lovington anchor a vast network of oil fields, pipelines, and pump stations that stretch across the Querecho Plains and into the Mescalero Sands. Small company towns and ranching outposts such as Humble City, Monument, and Frankel City are plotted amidst a terrain marked by numerous sinkholes and dry washes like Monument Draw.
