About this map

Monument Draw cuts a prominent north-south path through this arid Permian Basin borderland where New Mexico and Texas meet. In the late 1960s, this landscape was defined by intensive industrial activity, specifically within the Dollarhide Oil Field which occupies the northern extent of the quadrangle. The terrain is characterized by large expanses of Shifting Sand, highlighting the geological volatility of the region before modern stabilization. Evidence of the mid-century energy boom is visible through numerous Drill Holes, Oil Wells, and a network of Jeep Trails that crisscross the dunes. Scattered extraction sites like the Gravel Pit and an isolated Corral suggest a secondary economy of infrastructure maintenance and livestock management in an otherwise specialized industrial zone.
