2013 Map of Field SE

About this map

Running Water Draw carves a subtle path across the northern reaches of this Curry County landscape, a signature of the High Plains drainage system in eastern New Mexico. This 2013 survey reveals a meticulously organized agricultural grid defined by a dense network of section-line roads, including State Route 224 and State Route 311. The map is a study in land division, showing the intersection of numerous county routes such as Co Road AD and Co Road 38 that facilitate the movement of goods in this ranching and farming region. In the southeast corner, the distinctively named Dead Horse Lake provides a rare hydrographic landmark amidst the vast, level topography. For the local historian or genealogist, the map serves as a precise record of property boundaries and rural infrastructure, documenting the exact placement of local thoroughfares like Curry Road 24 and Co Road AG as they existed in the early twenty-first century.
