1957 Map of Lubbock West

About this map

Texas Technological University and the expanding suburbs of western Lubbock define this mid-century landscape. The map illustrates a period of significant growth, with the city limits pushing westward toward Carlisle and West End Place. This expansion is highlighted by the purple-tinted urban extensions that contrast with the more traditional residential grids of the central city. Educational institutions like Lubbock Christian College and numerous local schools, including Monterey High Sch and Hutchinson Jr High Sch, signal the development of established neighborhoods during this era.
