1985 Map of Maljamar NE

About this map

The Mescalero (The Caprock) Ridge dominates this high-plains landscape, carving a sharp escarpment that defines the boundary between the Llano Estacado and the Pecos River Valley. In the mid-1980s, this area of Eddy County served as a significant industrial hub for petroleum extraction, characterized by an extensive Oil Field and supporting infrastructure like the Pumping Station and several Radio Tower sites. The terrain is marked by topographic high points such as Taylor Peak and the drainage of Taylor Draw, which reveal the natural drainage patterns of this semi-arid environment. This 1985 survey captures the intersection of three counties — Chaves, Lea, and Eddy — during a period when the energy sector deeply shaped the New Mexico desert through a network of roads, pipelines, and a local Gravel Pit.
