2010 Map of Lovington NW

About this map

Edson Ranch sits amid the expansive energy landscape of Lea County, where the infrastructure of the Permian Basin's petroleum industry is a defining characteristic. The map reveals the extensive spatial footprint of several major extraction areas, including the Townsend Oil Field in the north and the Eidson Oil Field and Shoe Bar Oil Field further south. This network of oil production is supported by a precise grid of rural roads and county thoroughfares, such as W Gum Ave and County Rd-119. Near the center of the quadrangle, the Lovington Airport at County Hwy-100A serves as a vital transportation node for this industrial and ranching region. The layout reflects the 21st-century evolution of New Mexico's plains, where traditional cattle operations coexist with modern aviation and significant mineral resource development.
