2013 Map of Paduca Breaks NW

About this map

Cotton Place occupies the high ground of the High Plains in this 2013 survey, where the arid landscape is defined by its industrial energy footprint. The map documents a sparsely populated but active region along the Eddy Co Lea Co line, characterized by its reliance on isolated water sources like Jack Tank. The energy economy is the primary driver of development here, evident in the extensive operations at the Double X Oil Field and the Paduca Oil Field. Transport across these desert flats relies on a network of straight-line thoroughfares such as NM-128, Orla Rd, and Buck Jackson Rd, which connect the scattered extraction sites and ranching outposts. The survey provides a clear view of the cadastral grid and terrain variations across the T24S and T25S townships during a period of modern resource management.
