2017 Map of Schram Lake

About this map

Spillman Cem sits near the crossing of S Roosevelt Road 30 and S Roosevelt Road AM, serving as a quiet focal point in this high plains landscape on the border of Chaves and Roosevelt counties. The terrain is defined by the broad depression of Boone Draw, which cuts across the central townships and directs the placement of the rural road grid. The map highlights a localized drainage system featuring Schram Lake and Woods Lake, rare instances of surface water in an otherwise arid ranching environment. The straight-line geometry of the survey sections is strictly maintained by routes like S Roosevelt Road AK and Claunch Rd, illustrating the systematic division of the eastern New Mexico territory into large-scale agricultural and grazing tracts.
