About this map

Monument Draw serves as the primary geographic corridor through this section of the Permian Basin, carving a subtle path across the high desert floor. The map records the precise intersection of the New Mexico-Texas state line where Lea County meets Andrews and Winkler counties. This arid landscape is defined by the Public Land Survey System grid, which organizes the territory into townships such as t25s r38e and t26s r37e. Transportation is facilitated by local routes like Ranch Rd 1218 and SW 9751, which provide access to the remote oil and gas fields characteristic of this border region. The sparse distribution of named features underscores the utilitarian nature of the land, primarily used for energy extraction and ranching in a territory where water sources like the draw dictate the sparse patterns of human activity.
