2017 Map of Loco Hills

About this map

Loco Hills sits at the center of this landscape in the southeastern corner of New Mexico, where the plains of Eddy County are defined by a network of ranching and utility roads. The terrain is marked by significant hydrological and geographic features like the Cedar Lake basin and the Cedar Lake Draw, which provide crucial drainage across this semi-arid region. These natural depressions and the Cedar Breaks escarpment influenced the placement of local transportation routes, including Mallet Rd and Skelly Rd. The map illustrates a modern survey of the Public Land Survey System, showing the township and range divisions such as t17s r30e and t17s r31e. For those tracking the evolution of land use in the Permian Basin, the dense grid of secondary roads like Hagerman Cutoff Rd and Goat Ropers Rd reveals the intensive activity surrounding this isolated settlement.
