About this map

Monument Draw defines the drainage of this arid landscape, winding through the southeastern corner of Lea County as it crosses the Texas-New Mexico border. The terrain is structured by a network of ranching and petroleum access roads, primarily oriented along a grid. Key transit corridors include Ranch Road 1218, which transitions into FM-1218, and SW 9751. The landscape is sparse, reflecting the industrial and agricultural character of the Permian Basin region, where infrastructure is designed for resource management rather than dense settlement. The map provides a detailed look at the physical geography and road systems used by the ranching and energy sectors in the early 21st century.
