About this map

Monument Cemetery sits in the northwest corner of this West Texas borderlands landscape, a primary point of interest for genealogists tracing families in the Permian Basin. This high-plains terrain is defined by a dense grid of service roads and section lines, supporting a combination of ranching operations like the S and W Cattle Company and the energy infrastructure of Lea County. The settlement of Warren and its Warren Post Office provide a glimpse into the local rural centers that have historically served the surrounding cattle country. Cutting across the lower half of the quadrangle, the ephemeral course of Monument Draw passes near the White Breaks, illustrating the natural drainage patterns of this arid region. The map also captures the layout of Nadine and the primary thoroughfare of Monument Hwy, showing the intersection of local industry and transport at the start of the 21st century.
