The high plains of Lea County are defined by a network of ranching roads and extractive industry, centered around the landform known as Soldier Hill. This landscape shows a clear layering of historical land use, where cattle ranching interests like Fort Ranch and landmarks such as the Speed Windmill intersect with the energy infrastructure of the Moore Oil Field, Caprock East Oil Field, and Caprock North Oil Field.
