Industrial energy production and expansive ranching operations define this portion of the Permian Basin in Lea County. The landscape is dominated by the extensive infrastructure of the West Lovington Oil Field in the northeast and the Vacuum Oil Field further south, where a complex network of access roads and pipelines overlies the high desert terrain. This 2013 survey illustrates the dense pattern of resource extraction that drives the local economy, punctuated by the established presence of the Giles Lee Ranch and R D Lee Ranch.
