About this map

Potash mining operations define the industrial character of this Eddy County landscape during the early 21st century. The map reveals extensive infrastructure managed by the Potash Company of America Mine and the Duval Corporation North Mine, alongside the Duval Corporation Saunders Mine. These industrial sites are set against a backdrop of prominent geological features like Clayton Basin, Nimenim Ridge, and the Maroon Cliffs.

Remote outposts such as Lusk Ranch and Wood Ranch provide evidence of the region's enduring ranching traditions. Local transit is facilitated by a network of rural routes including Crazy Horse Rd and County Rd-239, which navigate the elevation changes near Tower Hill and Mimosa Ridge. This survey documents the intersection of resource extraction and traditional land use in a high-desert environment.
