About this map

Querecho Plains dominates this section of Lea County, where industrial development and raw terrain intersect. In the mid-1980s, the landscape was defined by the energy sector, featuring the sprawling South Corbin Oil and Gas Field and both the West Tonto Oil Field and South Tonto Oil Field. The infrastructure required for extraction is visible in the dense network of Pipeline corridors and Aqueduct routes that crisscross the territory. Local resource extraction beyond petroleum is noted by scattered Gravel Pits, while navigation across the arid ground relied on a system of Jeep Trails. This map documents a specific phase of New Mexico petroleum history, capturing the exact placement of Water Tanks and wells that drove the local economy during this era of intensive field development.
