Wardswell Draw carves a subtle path through this section of the Llano Estacado, defining the drainage patterns in a landscape dominated by a vast, systematic grid of roads and petroleum infrastructure. This 2010 survey reveals a high-density network of county roads and industrial access paths such as Wilks Rd, Thornhill Rd, and County Rd 88. The map documents the intensive development of the Permian Basin, where the geometric regularity of the section lines is punctuated by numerous small pads and facilities. Local family and place names are preserved in the road network, including Catchings Rd, Knowles Rd, and the Prairieview area. This document serves as a precise record of the land-use patterns and energy-sector footprint in eastern New Mexico during the first decade of the 21st century.
