2017 Map of Livingston Ridge

About this map

Livingston Ridge dominates this 2017 survey of Eddy County, New Mexico, marking a significant escarpment above the surrounding desert terrain. The area is defined by its industrial and energy-sector infrastructure, most notably the access routes for the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant, including Doe Wipp Acc and Wipp Rd. These modern corridors intersect with a landscape shaped by natural depressions and geological formations like Nash Draw and the Maroon Cliffs. Scattered across the sections are essential water features such as Hill Tank, Noye Tank, and New Tank, which underscore the region's historical reliance on livestock watering points in an otherwise arid environment. This map reflects the intersection of federal energy management and traditional ranching geography at the start of the twenty-first century.
