2016 Map of Bula

About this map

Bula sits at the heart of this High Plains landscape in Bailey County, defined by its characteristic grid of farm-to-market roads and seasonal lake basins. The settlement is anchored by the Bula Cem, a key landmark for local genealogists and historians. To the north, the terrain is marked by a series of depressions including Upper Pauls Lake, Lower Pauls Lake, and Lower Goose Lake, which serve as natural drainage points in an otherwise flat expanse. The southern portion of the quadrangle is bisected by the Yellow House Draw, a significant geographical feature that has historically influenced the drainage and settlement patterns of this part of West Texas. This 2016 survey provides a clear view of the area's agricultural layout, dominated by roads such as FM 37 and FM 54 that connect the small community to the surrounding farmsteads.
