About this map

Pleasant Hill anchors this High Plains agricultural landscape, situated just west of the New Mexico-Texas border. The area is defined by a rigorous grid of section-line roads, including State Line Rd, which separates Curry County from its eastern neighbors. The terrain is marked by seasonal drainages such as Mustang Draw and Running Water Draw, which provide natural relief to the otherwise geometric layout of farmland. These draws were historically significant as corridors for movement and water in an arid environment.

Local landmarks such as the Pleasant Hill Cemetery and the settlement of Veterly reflect the rural social structure of the early 21st century. The presence of McKillip Lake Dam along Catfish Draw illustrates the engineering efforts required to manage water resources for the local ranching and farming operations. The map provides a detailed record of land ownership patterns and infrastructure, from Ranch Road 2290 to the numerous numbered county roads that facilitate the movement of goods in this borderland region.
