About this map

The West Texas plains surrounding Levelland are defined here by a systematic grid of petroleum-inspired infrastructure and civic landmarks. As the seat of Hockley County, the town center is anchored by the Hockley County Courthouse and several significant burial grounds, including the Hockley County Cem, Hockley County Hispanic Cem, and the Levelland Municipal Cem near the shores of Lobo Lake.

Beyond the residential blocks, the landscape transitions into an industrial network reflected in the naming of rural routes. Roads such as Gusher Rd, Oil Well Rd, Hard Hat Rd, and Drill Stem reveal the profound impact of the oil industry on the local geography. This rectilinear expansion across the Llano Estacado illustrates how resource extraction and agricultural parceling shaped the development of Hockley County in the early twenty-first century.
