2020 Map of Paduca Breaks NW

About this map

The high plains of the Permian Basin define this landscape along the border of Eddy and Lea counties. In this arid corner of New Mexico, water resources are sparse, marked only by isolated features like Jack Tank in the northern reaches. The survey reveals a sparse network of ranch and energy roads, including Buck Johnson Rd and Buck Jackson Rd, which cut across the geometric grid of the Public Land Survey System. The map documents the vast, open character of the t24s r32e and t25s r32e townships, where long stretches of Orla Rd and Co Rd 1-8 provide the primary transit through the scrubland. This 2020 edition captures the modern infrastructure of an area defined more by its industrial and ranching utility than by permanent settlements.
