2017 Map of Tule Lake

About this map

Tule Lake and Little Tule Lake define the northern portion of this High Plains landscape along the border of Curry and Roosevelt counties. These shallow basins, characteristic of the region's intermittent hydrology, are surrounded by a rigid grid of rural roads such as Curry Road AJ and Sundale Valley Rd. The terrain is marked by gradual elevation changes and drainage features like Cañada del Tule in the southwest and Fiddlers Draw in the northeast. This 2017 survey illustrates a specialized agricultural and ranching environment where the Base Line serves as a critical surveying boundary between Township 1 North and Township 1 South. The layout of the road network, including numerous numbered Roosevelt County roads, reflects the systematic division of the land for range management and transit between isolated homesteads and larger regional hubs.
