2020 Map of Illinois Camp

About this map

Illinois Camp sits at the heart of this Eddy County landscape, where the high desert terrain is defined by a dense network of local roads and named topographical features. The area's character is shaped by traditional ranching and petroleum industry routes, including the Hagerman Cutoff, Oil Center Rd, and the curiously named Cow Town Rd. The drainage patterns of the Pecos River valley are evident in the winding courses of Chalk Bluff Draw and Palmilla Draw, while the prominent Chalk Bluff and Fade Away Ridge provide significant elevation changes across the quadrangle. This 2020 survey captures the modern road grid, featuring labels such as Curry Comb Rd and Hillbilly Rd, which reflect the localized history and cultural naming conventions of this southeastern New Mexico region.
