About this map

The West Lovington Oil Field and East Lovington Oil Field anchor this high plains landscape in the Permian Basin, illustrating the intersection of energy extraction and ranching in Lea County. The terrain is marked by the expansive holdings of several family operations, including the Turner Ranch, Kimbrough Ranch, and Culp Ranch. These rural properties are supported by vital water sources such as Adobe Well and Eller Well, which are essential for sustaining livestock in this arid environment.

A network of local corridors like W Stiles Rd and Co Road 50 connects these remote outposts to the arterial N Lovington Hwy. The map provides a clear look at the township and range survey system, with sections precisely delineated across the plains. This 2013 survey serves as a detailed record of the infrastructure required to manage both subterranean mineral wealth and surface agricultural interests in the southeast corner of New Mexico.
