2019 Map of Heckville

About this map

Becton and Heckville anchor this agricultural landscape on the high plains of the Texas Panhandle, positioned along the border where Hale and Lubbock Counties meet. The map reveals a strictly organized grid of rural roads and state highways like Fm 400, reflecting the region's systematic approach to land use and cotton farming. A key landmark for local history and genealogy is the Becton Cemetery, located just north of the town site. The terrain is characterized by numerous small, seasonal depressional wetlands known as playas, which appear as scattered blue-stippled features across the open country, serving as the primary natural drainage and water collection points in this otherwise flat environment.
