2010 Map of Lake McMillan North

About this map

Lakewood and its surrounding ranchlands are depicted here in the Pecos Valley, just north of the expansive Lake Mc Millan reservoir. The settlement pattern is defined by rural road networks like N Lake Rd and Dayton Rd, which connect isolated homesteads such as the Lewis Ranch to larger regional hubs. The hydrology of the area is particularly complex, showing the confluence of the Rio Peñasco with the Pecos River, alongside numerous ephemeral drainages including Fourmile Draw and Scoggin Draw. For genealogists and local historians, the inclusion of the Old Lakewood Cemetery and the Lakewood Post Office provides specific points of interest for tracing family roots in this part of Eddy County. The landscape is characterized by its semi-arid drainage features and the presence of the Chalk Bluff Spring, illustrating the importance of water sources in the high desert of southeastern New Mexico.
