2010 Map of Hart SW

About this map

Thompson Gin anchors the southwest corner of this Lamb County landscape, representing the agricultural processing centers that define the South Plains. The terrain is characterized by a sparse, grid-like network of rural roads that intersect the natural drainage patterns of Running Water Draw and the North Fork Running Water Draw. These intermittent watercourses meander across the High Plains, providing the only significant breaks in a topography dominated by large-scale farming and ranching operations. In the northeast, Lemons Dam stands as a localized piece of water management infrastructure, reflecting the critical importance of moisture conservation in this arid region. The map preserves the exact alignment of secondary routes such as Fm 1842 and Fm 168 before recent rural developments, offering a clear view of the area's mid-century transit and irrigation framework.
