1969 Map of Hobbs SW

About this map

White Breaks defines the northwestern reaches of this West Texas and New Mexico borderlands survey, where the arid Permian Basin landscape is etched with complex industrial infrastructure. The extraction economy is pervasive, documented through a dense network of oil wells, scattered gravel pits, and an extensive aqueduct and pipeline system. Small settlements and industrial sites like Warren and the Carbon Plant are linked by these utilities, showing the region's focus on resource management in the late 1960s. The ephemeral hydrology of the area is visible in the paths of Jal Draw and Monument Draw, which cut across the terrain towards the state line. Near the southern draw, the Monument Cem serves as a localized landmark for genealogists tracing families connected to the early ranching and petroleum developments of Lea County.
