2013 Map of Livingston Ridge

About this map

Maroon Cliffs and the prominent Livingston Ridge define this high desert landscape in Eddy County, where the terrain transitions into the geologic depression of Nash Draw. This 2013 survey by the U. S. Geological Survey details an area dominated by modern energy and infrastructure, indicated by the network of heavy-use routes like Wipp Rd and Delaware Basin Rd. The map documents the specific locations of essential water catchments such as New Tank, Noye Tank, and Hill Tank, which are critical landmarks for navigation in this arid region. Traces of older transit ways are also present, most notably the Cimarron Trl, which cuts across the southern portion of the quadrangle. The lack of traditional town centers highlights the region's character as a specialized industrial and resource-based landscape.
