About this map

Lazbuddie serves as the primary focal point of this West Texas survey, situated at the intersection of local routes amidst a vast agricultural landscape. The town center is marked by several community landmarks, including a Po, a Substation, and an Athletic Field located near the local school site. To the southwest, the Lazbuddie Cem provides a point of interest for genealogists and local historians tracking family roots in Parmer County.

The physical geography is dominated by the meandering course of Running Water Draw, which carves a distinct path across the plains of Parmer Co and into Castro Co. This intermittent drainage feature is surrounded by numerous depressions and hundreds of individual water wells, reflecting the area's intensive reliance on the High Plains aquifer for irrigation. The presence of a Sandpit and various small natural basins suggests the subtle geological variations within this otherwise flat, productive prairie region during the early 1960s.
