The boundary between Roosevelt Co and Lea Co bisects this high plains landscape, where the local economy and land use are defined by the energy industry. The Milnesand Oil Field and Vada Oil Field are the primary landmarks, with a network of access roads and section lines servicing the petroleum infrastructure. Named roads such as Vada Lee, Crow Rd, and Co Road 170 provide the primary transit through these eastern New Mexico counties. The terrain is characterized by subtle elevation changes and the organized grid of the Public Land Survey System, reflecting the systematic development of the Llano Estacado. This 2013 survey provides a clear view of the industrial footprint within the ranching country typical of this region.
