The arid landscape of the Permian Basin is defined by several notable depressions, most significantly Laguna Gatuna, Laguna Plata, and Laguna Tonto. These alkaline basins sit at the heart of an active extraction economy, shown here during a period of sustained energy production. The map captures the infrastructure of the Salt Lake Oil Field, Teas Oil Field, and the South Salt Lake Gas Field, where networks of roads like Delaware Basin Rd and NM-176 connect drilling sites across the desert floor.
