2019 Map of Big Spring North

About this map

Big Spring anchors the southern portion of this West Texas landscape, where the urban grid meets the desert draws of Howard County. The map documents the northern expansion of the city beyond the historic corridor of Beals Creek, showing a dense network of residential streets and named boulevards like Baylor Blvd and Bucknell Ave. Near the city's edge, Refinery Lake and Onemile Lake provide distinct water features in an otherwise arid environment, while Gold Hill rises as a prominent local landmark. Beyond the city limits, the landscape transitions into a grid of county roads bisected by deep drainage features such as Big Sandy Draw and Coahoma Draw. Researchers will find interest in the location of Mount Olive Cemetery and the outlying settlement of Ziler, which highlight the historical footprint of the community as it spread toward the surrounding ranchlands.
