2023 Map of Pleasure Lake

About this map

The high plains of the Llano Estacado define this landscape along the border of New Mexico and Texas. Settled primarily by agricultural interests, the area is partitioned by an extensive network of county roads such as Curry Road C and Co RD 1008 that trace the township and range lines. The topography is marked by ephemeral depressions and drainage features, most notably Pleasure Lake in the north and the winding path of Blackwater Draw. These natural catchments are vital markers in a region where water management dictates the patterns of rural life. Near the state line, Mount Olivet Cem serves as a significant genealogical landmark for local families. The map illustrates the meeting point of Curry and Roosevelt Counties in New Mexico with Parmer and Bailey Counties in Texas, showing how modern transportation routes like FM 3125 bridge these jurisdictional boundaries.
