2016 Map of Heckville

About this map

The agrarian landscape of the Texas Panhandle is defined by a precise grid of county roads and intermittent playas. This region, positioned along the Hale and Lubbock county line, centers on the small communities of Becton and Heckville. The settlement pattern is strictly governed by the section lines, with rural life anchored by the Becton Cem and a network of transit routes including E Fm 597 and Alaska St. The topographic relief is minimal, dominated by numerous small, circular depressions or basins that dot the plains, providing a unique look at the localized hydrology of the Llano Estacado. These features, often occurring in clusters, contrast with the engineered regularity of the road network, which includes thoroughfares like Tombrock St and E Co Rd 5300.
