1978 Map of Jal
USGS Topo · Published 1979About this map
Jal and Eunice anchor the eastern edge of this 1978 survey, situated in a landscape defined by the expansive oil and gas operations of the Permian Basin. The map details a complex industrial network of pipelines and storage tanks concentrated around named zones like the Jal Oil Field and Wilson Oil Field. Running parallel to the Texas border, the Texas-New Mexico RR serves these energy centers, connecting the small settlements of Bennett and Oil Center. Beyond the industrial corridors, the terrain transitions into the distinct natural geography of the San Simon Swale and Antelope Ridge. The map captures numerous ephemeral water features and drainage systems, such as Monument Draw and Nash Draw, which cut through the arid plains. Notable local landmarks including the County Airport and the Muni Rec Area reflect the community infrastructure supporting the region's mid-century population centers.
