2023 Map of Paduca Breaks West

About this map

Red Hills and the prominent Red Hill rise above the high desert floor of southeastern New Mexico in this contemporary topographic survey. The landscape is defined by its drainage patterns and resource infrastructure, notably the long descent of Bobcat Draw and Red Hills Draw toward the southeast. The border between Eddy and Lea Counties bisects the terrain, revealing a network of remote corridors including Battle Axe Rd and Pipeline Rd. Water management in this arid environment is represented by isolated features like East Tank, providing a critical point of reference for researchers of local land use and ranching history in the Permian Basin region.
