About this map

Delaware River cuts across the northern edge of this arid borderlands landscape, marking a critical water source in the Trans-Pecos region of West Texas. The terrain is defined by a dense, systematic network of access roads and industrial development typical of the Permian Basin's energy infrastructure during the early 21st century. Running south through the center of the quadrangle is China Draw, a significant drainage feature that shapes the local topography. For those interested in the regional transport and connectivity between Texas and New Mexico, the presence of Carlsbad Rd provides a primary corridor through this desert environment. The map reveals how modern resource extraction has overlaid a complex geometric grid onto the natural geography of the Chihuahuan Desert.
