2023 Map of Schram Lake

About this map

Schram Lake and Woods Lake sit in the southwestern corner of this Roosevelt County landscape, highlighting the ephemeral hydrology of the High Plains. The terrain is defined by a grid of rural routes including S Roosevelt Road 29 and S Roosevelt Road 30, which cross the undulating drainage of Boone Draw. Along the section line of Road 30 lies Spillman Cem, a small but significant site for family researchers. The boundary between Chaves Co and Roosevelt Co runs vertically through the western portion of the sheet, marking a transition in jurisdictional oversight for the surrounding ranchlands. This survey reflects the modern agricultural and livestock-focused infrastructure of the region, where connectivity depends on a network of straight-line roads like Claunch Rd and Southard Rd that navigate the open prairie.
