2016 Map of Soda Lake NE

About this map

Loving Co, Winkler Co, and Ward Co converge in this high-plains landscape of the Permian Basin during the mid-2010s. The terrain is characterized by a dense, geometric network of industrial access paths and survey lines that overlie the natural topography. One of the few primary named thoroughfares, M Cattle Co Rd, cuts through the northern sector, indicating the area's dual heritage of ranching and resource extraction. The map illustrates how administrative boundaries intersect in an arid environment where the infrastructure of the energy industry has largely reshaped the traditional cattle range.
