2010 Map of Remuda Basin

About this map

Duval Mine and the Nash Draw Mine anchor the northeastern landscape of this Eddy County basin, reflecting the industrial character of southeastern New Mexico's potash and salt districts. The terrain is defined by dramatic depressions and ridges, including the broad Remuda Basin and the long elevations of Forty - Niner Ridge and Livingston Ridge. Large evaporative and drainage features such as Salt Lake and Nash Draw dominate the hydrology, while Tamarisk Flat and Lindsey Lake further differentiate the arid basin floor. A sparse network of local thoroughfares like County Rd 793 and Noah Draw Rd provides the primary access to these remote mining and grazing lands, illustrating the region's reliance on specialized extraction and the natural topographic corridors formed by the desert draws.
