About this map

Lubbock expands westward across the High Plains in this 2016 survey, showcasing a landscape defined by rapid urbanization and significant academic centers. The map highlights the sprawling campuses of Texas Tech University and Lubbock Christian University, indicating the city's role as a major educational hub. The transition from dense residential blocks to rural sections is visible near Carlisle and West End Place, where the grid of city streets like 19th St meets the outlying agricultural roads.

Transport corridors such as the Marsha Sharp Freeway and the Santa Fe Drive route underscore the region's reliance on high-capacity thoroughfares. Notable landmarks for genealogical research include Resthaven Cemetery and Carlisle Cemetery. To the northeast, the natural topography is marked by Yellow House Draw, providing a distinct break in the otherwise structured urban grid of this West Texas plains environment.
