1969 Map of Humble City

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

The vast industrial and oil-production landscape of Lea County is captured in this late-1960s survey. The terrain is defined by the shallow depression of Wardswell Draw, which cuts across the high plains of the Llano Estacado. This era was marked by an extensive infrastructure of resource extraction, evidenced by a dense network of pipelines and numerous well sites distributed across the township grids. A Radio Tower in the southeast quadrant and several Gravel Pits illustrate the localized development supporting the regional petroleum economy and road network of the New Mexico plains.
