1985 Map of Lovington SW

USGS Topo · Published 1985

About this map

The arid landscape of Lea County in the mid-1980s is defined by industrial extraction and water management. This provisional survey captures the open expanse south of Lovington, where the infrastructure of an unnamed Field dominates the high plains terrain. The presence of a Gravel Pit indicates local mining activity, while several stretches of Aqueduct suggest the critical importance of water transport in this semi-arid region. Unlike more densely populated areas, this portion of New Mexico is characterized by its organized grid of section lines and range boundaries, specifically near the junction of Range 35 East and Range 36 East. The map provides a focused view of the engineering required to sustain industry and resource development in the Llano Estacado during this era of growth.
