2017 Map of Monument SW

About this map

Monument Draw cuts across the northeastern corner of this arid New Mexico landscape, providing a primary hydrological feature in an area defined by its systematic township and range organization. The terrain here is largely open, marked by a network of local roads such as Sims Rd, Pearson Rd, and Willow Tree Rd that follow the established section lines of the Public Land Survey System. These routes facilitate movement across the Hobbs Southwest Division, reflecting the rural character of Lea County during the mid-2010s. The topographic detail highlights the subtle shifts in elevation that characterize the high plains, where the vastness of the geography is partitioned into distinct legal boundaries such as t19s r35e and t20s r36e.
