1969 Map of Hobbs SW

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

Monument Jal Field dominates the industrial landscape of this 1969 topographic study, revealing a complex network of oil wells and pipelines throughout Lea County. This era in southeast New Mexico was defined by the intersection of energy extraction and transport, marked by the prominent path of the Texas - New Mexico railroad line and a large aqueduct cutting across the terrain. Small settlements like Warren and Nadine punctuate the grid, providing residential anchors for the surrounding workforce. The natural topography is characterized by the White Breaks and the winding course of Monument Draw in the south, where a Carbon Plant and numerous Gravel Pits indicate active resource processing. For those tracing local heritage, the Monument Cem serves as a vital genealogical landmark situated amidst the shifting sands and industrial infrastructure of the Permian Basin.
