2013 Map of Jal NW

About this map

Monument Jal Oil Field dominates the central landscape of this Lea County region, illustrating the heavy industrial footprint of the Permian Basin in the early 21st century. The map centers on the northwestern outskirts of Jal, where a geometric grid of county roads and oil-related infrastructure intersects the arid high plains. Significant transportation corridors include State Highway 18 and NM-128, which serve as the primary arteries for this energy-rich corner of New Mexico. Local history and genealogy interests are anchored by the Jal Cooper Cem, while the Lea County (Jal) Airport and the settlement of Nadine mark the southern and eastern edges of the quadrangle. The terrain is characterized by a high density of local connectors like Co Road 7 and Country Club Rd, reflecting the complex network required to service the surrounding petroleum operations.
