1963 Map of Oil Center

USGS Topo · Published 1964

About this map

The Monument Jal Oil Field and surrounding petroleum grounds dominate this 1963 study of Lea County's arid landscape. The map reveals an industrial economy laid over an unforgiving terrain, where the San Simon Ridge and San Simon Swale provide the primary geographical structure. Water management is the defining human element here, seen in the numerous basins and tanks such as Urssey Tank, Flood Tank, and Rainy Tank, alongside the more substantial Rock Lake Reservoir.
