About this map

Chaveroo Oil Field and the northern portion of the Milnesand Oil Field define this pocket of Roosevelt County during the early 1970s. The landscape is characterized by a dense network of industrial infrastructure, where numerous Oil Wells and a Gas Well are interconnected by an extensive subterranean Pipeline system. This energy-focused environment is further marked by several Drill Holes and scattered Gravel Pits, indicating a period of active resource extraction and maintenance.

Inland from these industrial zones, the Eagle Hill Cemetery stands as a significant point of local history and genealogy. The topography is largely defined by isolated Wells and intermittent surface features, with fine red dashed lines indicating the presence of selected fence lines. This map, updated in the early 1980s, captures the precise distribution of mineral development across the high plains before further expansion altered the rural character of the region.
