About this map

Ned Houk Memorial Park anchors the southern portion of this High Plains landscape north of Clovis, where the local topography is defined by the ephemeral drainage of Running Water Draw. This area of Curry County exhibits a rigid grid of agricultural roads, including Curry Road 25 and Humphrey Rd, which service the broad stretches of farmland that dominate the region.

The small settlement of Claud sits at a crossroads in the north-central section, representing the quiet rural hubs of the Llano Estacado. Significant water management is evident at the Running Water Draw Site One Dam, a feature designed to handle the infrequent but heavy flows through the arid terrain. In the northeast, Mustang Draw cuts through the plains, further illustrating the natural drainage patterns that have dictated road placement and land use since early settlement.
