1969 Map of Hobbs West

USGS Topo · Published 1980

About this map

The oil-rich landscape of Lea County unfolds across this survey, centered on the western expansion of Hobbs during a period of significant mid-century growth. The map illustrates a transition from the structured street grid of the city, featuring numerous educational and religious institutions like Sanger Sch and Aldersgate Ch, to the industrial and natural features of the High Plains. To the west, the arid expanse of the Monument Alkali Flat contrasts with the intensive energy infrastructure of the Permian Basin, marked by a dense network of pipelines and a large Refinery. Aviation and leisure sites are prominent, including the Lea County-Hobbs Airport and the nearby Hobbs Country Club, while the small settlement of Nadine sits at the southern edge of the sheet along the Texas-New Mexico rail line.
