Crossroads is a small, quiet place in Lea County, New Mexico, in the United States. It's called an "unincorporated community," which means it's a settlement that doesn't have its own local government like a city or town. Instead, it's managed by the county.
Crossroads gets its name because it's located right where two important roads meet: State Road 206 and State Road 508. It's about 17.7 miles north of a town called Tatum. Even though it's a small community, Crossroads still has its own ZIP code, 88114, and used to have its own post office until April 29, 1995.
