2013 Map of Lea
USGS Topo · Published 2013About this map
The high desert landscape of Lea is defined by a dense grid of energy extraction and ranching infrastructure. Central to the area’s identity is the Lea Oil and Gas Field, which alongside the Pearl Oil Field, North Lynch Oil Field, and Middle Lynch Oil Field, illustrates the extensive petroleum development across the Llano Estacado. These industrial features are interspersed with long-standing ranching operations, such as Berry Ranch and San Simon Ranch, where water resources like S Tank and the West Windmill were essential for sustaining livestock. The map captures a transition where traditional land use meets modern energy demands, all connected by a network of arterial routes including NM-176 and US Highway 62/180.
