James Ranch and the Los Medanos settlement anchor this portion of the Chihuahuan Desert landscape in southeastern New Mexico. The terrain is defined by the prominent Livingston Ridge, which runs through the northwest, overlooking a network of ranching and resource roads that crisscross the arid basin. This 2013 survey shows a landscape heavily influenced by the ranching industry and the modern energy economy, indicated by the proliferation of secondary routes like Mills Ranch Rd, Twin Wells Rd, and Delaware Basin Rd.
