2022 Map of Heckville

About this map

Becton and Heckville anchor this agricultural landscape on the High Plains, situated at the boundary where Hale Co meets Lubbock Co. The map documents a strictly organized grid of rural roads and farm-to-market routes, such as FM 400 and FM 597, which define the region's transportation network. A key point of interest for genealogists and local historians is the Becton Cem, located just east of the small community center. The terrain is characterized by subtle depressions and numerous small, seasonal basins typical of the Llano Estacado, appearing here as isolated contours and wetland clusters. This layout reflects the long-standing cotton and grain farming traditions of the Texas Panhandle, where individual homesteads and small settlements are linked by named thoroughfares like Alaska St and Ebony Ave.
