2010 Map of Los Medanos

About this map

The high desert plains of the Los Medanos region in Eddy County are defined here by a network of ranching and industrial roads. Established outposts like James Ranch sit at the crossroads of a landscape shaped by both traditional land use and the modern extraction economy. The infrastructure reflects this dual nature, with routes such as Mills Ranch Rd and Cimarron Trl connecting isolated ranching operations, while the presence of the Hecla-Day Potash Lease and Wipp Rd points toward the area's specialized industrial role. The layout of Twin Wells Rd and County Rd 787 further illustrates how essential transport links have been adapted to serve the remote energy and mineral sectors in the Delaware Basin Rd vicinity during the early 21st century.
