About this map

Lubbock is defined by its strategic position at the confluence of several significant geographical features, notably where Blackwater Draw and Yellow House Draw meet to form Yellow House Canyon. This 2016 survey illustrates the city's modern infrastructure and academic heart, with Texas Tech Univ occupying a prominent position on the western edge of the quadrangle. The hydrology of the area is particularly complex, featuring a series of reservoirs including Canyon Lake Number 2, Canyon Lake Number 3, and Canyon Lake Number 6 that follow the canyon's path through the urban landscape.

To the east and south, the map transitions into the more open country near the settlement of Burris. The N Fork Double Mountain Fork Brazos River carves through the terrain, passing near the City of Lubbock Cem. This sheet serves as a detailed record of the South Plains urban expansion, highlighting the intersection of natural drainage systems like Blake Lake with the industrial and residential grid of this West Texas hub.
