About this map

The High Plains of Lea County reveal an industrial and ranching landscape characterized by the rectangular geometry of the Public Land Survey System. In this portion of southeastern New Mexico, the terrain is defined by the intersection of local routes like Buckeye Rd and San Andres Ln, which navigate a network of section lines. The presence of Vacuum Complex Ln points to the region's historical and ongoing association with the energy sector, while Lee Ranch Rd reflects the deep-rooted cattle ranching heritage of the Llano Estacado. Small depressions and ephemeral drainages appear near Swamp Rd, providing a contrast to the otherwise arid, structured grid that organizes this corner of the state.
