2023 Map of Red Lake

About this map

Red Lake sits at the heart of this Eddy County landscape, reflecting the characteristic desert hydrology of southeastern New Mexico. The terrain is defined by a series of intermittent drainages including Hart Canyon and Logan Draw, which channel seasonal water across the arid plains. These natural features share the space with a dense network of industrial and access roads such as Southern Union and Chase Rd, illustrating the intersection of natural geography and energy infrastructure in the Permian Basin. Local travel and land management are traced through thoroughfares like Illinois Camp Rd and Turkey Track Rd, while further topographical variety is found along Scoggin Draw and Chalk Bluff Draw. The map captures a modern record of land use where historic ranching routes and contemporary petroleum access roads overlap in a complex grid.
