The high desert plains of Lea County are defined by a network of ephemeral basins and energy extraction. This landscape is punctuated by water features like Laguna Gatuna, Laguna Plata, and Laguna Tonto, which serve as critical landmarks in an otherwise arid expanse. The settlement of Halfway serves as a small hub, while the surrounding territory is dominated by large-scale ranching operations, including Salt Lake Ranch, Bingham Ranch, and Allred Ranch.
