2013 Map of Peters Lake

About this map

Jenkins Ranch and Higgins Place anchor this stretch of Chaves County, where ranching life and sparse water sources define the high plains landscape. The namesake Peters Lake sits in the northeast, a notable catchment in an area otherwise drained by the seasonal channels of Thirteenmile Draw and Zubi Draw. The transportation network here is a mix of early 21st-century county roads and older routes that hint at the region's historic transit, such as Stagecoach Rd and the Old Y O Crossing Rd. This map captures the vast township-and-range layout of the Permian Basin fringe, showing the enduring presence of family-named locales like Loving Place amid a grid of service roads like Chesser Rd and Trenton Rd.
