2013 Map of Jal

About this map

Jal anchors this corner of the Permian Basin in southeastern Lea Co, where the grid of city streets transitions into an expansive industrial and desert landscape. The town's layout is defined by thoroughfares like State Highway 18 and a network of residential avenues such as W Wyoming Ave and E Kansas Ave. South of the main settlement lies the community of Bennett, positioned near the extensive Monument Jal Oil Field. This area reflects the deep-rooted energy economy of New Mexico, with infrastructure like Tank Farm Ln supporting local production. The terrain is characterized by the wide reaches of Toboso Flats, which stretch eastward toward the state line. Roads like NM-128 and Frying Pan Rd provide vital links across this arid high-plains environment, connecting isolated industrial sites to the regional transport hub.
