1957 Map of Lubbock East

About this map

Texas Technological University anchors the western edge of this Lubbock landscape, reflecting a period of significant urban growth that expanded toward Yellow House Canyon. The map reveals a dense network of local schools and civic landmarks, from the central Lubbock High Sch to neighborhood anchors like Wheatley Sch and Bozeman Sch. In the north, Mac Kenzie State Park follows the winding path of Blackwater Draw, while the Texas Agricultural Experiment Station highlights the intersection of academic research and the regional economy. To the southeast, the terrain drops into the rugged breaks of the canyon where Gravel Pits and Caliche Pits operated near the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe rail line. This 1970s revision captures the city as residential footprints pushed toward the City Bdy and the outlying settlement of Burris.
