About this map

The High Plains of the Llano Estacado define this industrial landscape in southeastern New Mexico during the mid-1980s. A widespread Oil Field dominates the terrain, marked by a dense network of extraction infrastructure and service roads that speak to the region's primary economic driver. Evidence of local construction and infrastructure maintenance is visible in the presence of a Gravel Pit located in the western portion of the survey. The map depicts a period of significant petroleum activity, where the natural topography is secondary to the systematic grid of energy development. This 1985 survey, produced from field checks in 1979, provides an essential record of the resource extraction footprint in Lea County before later technological shifts in the basin.
