1984 Map of Ironhouse Well

USGS Topo · Published 1984

About this map

Mescalero (The Caprock) Ridge dominates the center of this 1980s Lea County landscape, marking the dramatic geological break between the high mesa and the Querecho Plains below. This survey captures a region defined by its intense energy production and cattle-ranching infrastructure, with numerous extraction zones like the Quail Ridge Oil and Gas Field and Pearl Oil Field intersecting with historic watering points such as Ironhouse Well and Horse Camp Well. The presence of Friar Camp and a network of Jeep Trails suggests the utilitarian nature of the terrain during this era. A complex system of pipelines, pumping stations, and aqueducts is mapped alongside natural drainage features like Ironhouse Draw, illustrating how industrial development was integrated into the arid Llano Estacado environment.
