About this map

The Pecos River meanders through this portion of Eddy County, defining a landscape shaped by both hydrology and the petroleum industry. To the west, the outskirts of Artesia and the community of Atoka sit atop the relatively flat terrain, while the settlement of Riverside is positioned further east. The map captures the significant industrial footprint of the region's energy resources, including the Logan Draw Oil Field, Daugherty Oil Field, and Empire Oil Field.

Ephemeral water features such as Dog Canyon Draw, Logan Draw, and Tumbleweed Draw carve through the arid earth, leading toward the river valley. The namesake Spring Lake and Brainard Lake provide distinct landmarks in an area dominated by canyon topography like Hart Canyon and Little Diamond Draw. A dense network of local routes, including Karr Ranch Rd and Chalk Bluff Rd, connects these remote industrial sites and ranching lands.
