Hat Mesa and the sweeping depression of Bilbrey Basin define this corner of the Chihuahuan Desert during the early 1980s. The landscape is marked by the infrastructure of energy extraction, dominated by a large Gas Field and a network of pipelines that cut across the arid terrain. The map straddles the Eddy Co Lea Co line, providing a detailed look at how water was managed in this ranching country through various catchment features like Rockbottom Tank and Tank Under the Hill.
