2016 Map of Abernathy SW

About this map

Blackwater Draw cuts across this High Plains landscape, serving as the primary natural drainage feature in an area otherwise defined by its rigid grid of agricultural roads. Located on the boundary between Hale and Lubbock counties, this 2016 survey illustrates the intersection of rural land management and expanding infrastructure. The map is dominated by a systematic network of county roads, such as Co Rd 5000 and Quaker Ave, which partition the terrain into distinct farming blocks. This pattern of land use is typical of the Llano Estacado, where the natural topography is subtle and the economy is driven by large-scale cultivation. Researchers will find a high density of small playa wetlands scattered throughout the plains, often bypassed by major transit routes like Fm 2528 as they provide vital seasonal drainage for the surrounding fields.
