2010 Map of Illinois Camp

About this map

Illinois Camp stands as a central point of interest in this Eddy County landscape, where the infrastructure of the local petroleum industry meets the traditional ranching heritage of southeastern New Mexico. The map reveals an extensive network of roads like Oil Center Rd and Depco Rd, which weave between the drainage patterns of Angel Draw and Palmilla Draw. The topography is defined by the prominent Chalk Bluff in the northwest and the subtly rising Fade Away Ridge, which stretches across the central portion of the quadrangle. These features, alongside North Williams Ranch, illustrate the land use patterns where resource extraction and livestock ranching coexist. The intricate web of county roads and named draws provides a detailed record of the region's geography at the start of the twenty-first century, useful for understanding the evolution of this high-plains terrain.
