About this map

Mescalero Ridge (the Caprock) forms a sharp geographic boundary in the northeast, separating the elevated Llano Estacado from the lower Querecho Plains. This mid-1980s landscape is defined by its industrial activity, dominated by a pervasive Oil Field that spans the terrain. The settlement of Maljamar sits at the base of the ridge, serving as a focal point for the surrounding petroleum and resource extraction operations, which include several Gravel Pits concentrated in the northern sections. While the terrain is predominantly arid, small water features like Indian Tank and Little Lake are noted on the sheet. The boundary between Eddy Co and Lea Co bisects the quadrangle, illustrating how these two New Mexico counties share the intense energy production infrastructure of the Permian Basin region during this era.
