About this map

The agricultural plains of the New Mexico and Texas borderlands are defined by the rigid grid of the Public Land Survey System in this contemporary topographic study. Centered on Pleasant Hill, the landscape is partitioned into townships such as t4n r37e and t5n r37e, where a dense network of section line roads like Curry Road B and C R 18 facilitates movement across the High Plains. The namesake Pleasant Hill Cem serves as a significant local landmark for genealogists tracing families in this corner of Curry County.

Water management and natural drainage patterns are visible through the paths of Catfish Draw and Running Water Draw, which interrupt the geometric precision of the fields. The boundary between New Mexico and Texas is explicitly marked by Stateline Rd, illustrating how political borders often align with the transportation infrastructure of the rural West. This map offers a clear view of modern land use, from the established settlement at Pleasant Hill to the Primitive Rd tracks that reach into more open terrain.
