1969 Map of Humble City

USGS Topo · Published 1985

About this map

The high plains landscape of Lea County is captured here just as the regional infrastructure around the Hobbs Corporate Boundary began to intensify. Centered on the crossroads of Humble City and the historic settlement of Knowles, the map details a terrain heavily influenced by the oil and gas industry, indicated by numerous unnamed wells and a Pumping Sta. The southern portion of the sheet reveals a burgeoning educational and aviation hub, featuring both the New Mexico Junior College and the College of the Southwest adjacent to the Hobbs Industrial Airpark. These developments, along with the Landing Strips to the north, illustrate the mid-century transition of this ranching country into a modern industrial and academic center.
