1957 Map of Lubbock
USGS Topo · Published 1958About this map
Lubbock dominates this mid-century survey, revealing a period of significant urban expansion and agricultural integration. The city is bordered by outlying communities like New Deal, Shallowater, and Carlisle, while the Lubbock Oil Field to the east highlights the region's energy resources. The landscape is defined by the winding course of Yellowhouse Canyon and the Double Mountain Fork Brazos River, which cut through the flat terrain. Local infrastructure is highly detailed, featuring the Texas Agricultural Experiment Station and a dense network of educational institutions such as Monterey High School and Atkins Jr High Sch. Transport patterns are shaped by several major rail lines, including the Santa Fe and the Fort Worth and Denver (Burlington), which converge near the City of Lubbock Industrial Area, illustrating the town's role as a regional shipping and industrial hub.
