2010 Map of Pleasure Lake

About this map

The high plains of Curry County are defined by a strict geometric grid of section-line roads and the subtle drainage of Blackwater Draw. In this 2010 survey, the landscape is almost entirely partitioned for agriculture, with only a few natural depressions such as Pleasure Lake breaking the rectilinear pattern. Genealogists and local historians will find the Old Farwell Cemetery situated near the intersection of County Rd 6 and CR B, a quiet landmark on the eastern edge of the quadrangle. The map captures a moment of modern rural infrastructure, where named thoroughfares like N Roosevelt Road 2 and County Road DD provide the primary framework for movement across this level terrain. The lack of concentrated settlements highlights the isolated nature of the farmsteads that dot these plains.
