About this map

Hobbs serves as the central hub of this Lea County landscape, illustrating the modern footprint of the New Mexico oil patch. The map captures the northward expansion of the city into North Hobbs and the established educational corridor along the southern edge, featuring University of the Southwest and New Mexico Junior College. Further north, the historic community of Knowles is represented near the Knowles Cem, appearing as a small settlement surrounded by a vast grid of county roads such as Co Rd 78 and Co Rd 79.

The presence of Air Base City and the Industrial Airpark northwest of the main urban center reflects the region's mid-century aviation and industrial history. Between these developed areas and the eponymous Humble City, the terrain is marked by a network of ranch and oil-field access roads including N Bensing Rd and N World Dr, showing how the energy industry and agricultural land use continue to define the geography of the High Plains.
