2020 Map of Pleasure Lake

About this map

Pleasure Lake and the natural depressions of Blackwater Draw define this High Plains landscape along the border between New Mexico and Texas. This 2020 survey documents the intersection of four counties — Curry, Roosevelt, Parmer, and Bailey — as they meet in a highly structured grid of section lines and county roads. The area is largely defined by agriculture and open terrain, punctuated by the Mount Olivet Cem near the state line. The road network, including routes like FM 3125 and various labeled county roads such as Curry Rd E and S Roosevelt Road A, illustrates the modern connectivity of these rural borderlands. The interplay of drainage patterns and the artificial survey lines highlights the systematic development of the Llano Estacado region.
