USGS Topo · Published 1980About this map
The high plains of the Permian Basin define this landscape, where the town of Jal serves as a hub for the region's intensive energy infrastructure. Situated just north of the Texas border in Lea County, the town's development is closely tied to the surrounding oil fields, evidenced by the dense network of pipelines and scattered Oil Wells across the Monument and Jal Hollow terrain. Local life in the late 1960s is reflected in the presence of the High Sch, Burke Jr High Sch, and a Drive-in Theater on the southern edge of town.
