1957 Map of Lubbock West

About this map

Lubbock expands westward across the High Plains in the late 1950s, a period marked by the significant growth of the Texas Technological College campus. The urban grid is dense with newly established institutions, including a concentration of educational facilities like Monterey High Sch, Hutchinson Jr High Sch, and Christ the King Sch. Outside the city boundary, the landscape remains characterized by large agricultural plots and scattered settlements like Carlisle and Doud. The Panhandle and Santa Fe railroad cuts diagonally through the southern plains, connecting these outlying communities to the central hub. Notable local landmarks from this era include the Westlake Golf Course, Maxey Park, and the Methodist Hospital, while the northeastern corner is defined by the sharp descent into Yellowhouse Canyon, providing a rare break in the flat Llano Estacado terrain.
