2010 Map of Fieldton

About this map

Fieldton sits at the center of this agricultural landscape in Lamb County, defined by a rigid grid of county roads and drainage patterns. The community of Hart Camp lies to the southeast, connected to the surrounding farmland by a network of Farm to Market roads including Fm 168 and Fm 1072. The most significant natural feature is Blackwater Draw, a dry riverbed that meanders across the southern portion of the quadrangle. This intermittent waterway provides a rare break in the geometric precision of the irrigation-driven landscape, where dozens of circular depressions suggest the presence of playa lakes or cattle tanks vital to the local ranching and farming operations. The map illustrates the transition of the High Plains into a highly managed landscape of roads such as Co RD 192 and Co RD 202, which serve the rural homesteads scattered throughout the territory.
