1985 Map of Lovington NW

About this map

Oil Field operations dominate the landscape of this corner of Lea County in the mid-1980s, reflecting the intense industrial character of the Llano Estacado. The presence of the Eidson Oil Field and numerous unnamed drilling pads throughout the terrain indicates the scale of the region's petroleum economy during this era. Infrastructure for air travel is centered at the Municipal Airport in the eastern portion of the map, while a lone Road Side Park suggests the sparse rest stops along the highway network. This 1:24,000 scale study, based on 1970s aerial photography and 1979 field checks, serves as a precise record of the energy industry's footprint and the specialized transportation needs of the New Mexico plains.
