Dawson County Courthouse stands as the central landmark of Lamesa, anchoring the urban grid where the High Plains terrain begins its gradual descent toward the southeast. This contemporary survey captures the modern street layout of the city, including thoroughfares like Seminole Rd and Main St, while providing significant detail for genealogists through its mapping of local burial grounds. Four distinct sites are documented, ranging from the central Pioneer Cem to the outlying Five Mile Cem. South of the main city center, the small municipality of Los Ybanez appears along the highway. The physical landscape is defined by the prominent Sulphur Springs Draw, a drainage feature that cuts diagonally across the southern plains, transitioning into the label Sulfur Draw as it moves toward the county line.
