2020 Map of Livingston Ridge

About this map

Livingston Ridge and the Maroon Cliffs define the high desert topography of this Eddy County landscape. The area is characterized by significant natural depressions and drainage features, most notably the wide expanse of Nash Draw in the western half of the map. This terrain serves as the backdrop for modern industrial infrastructure, specifically the access routes for the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant. The network includes Wipp Rd and the Doe Wipp Acc corridor, which cut through the open land to reach specialized facilities. In an arid environment where water is a vital resource, the presence of localized catchment points like New Tank, Noye Tank, and Hill Tank highlights the traditional ranching requirements of the region, where such tanks often mark essential watering holes for livestock across the vast public lands.
