2022 Map of Lums Chapel

About this map

Lums Chapel sits at the heart of this High Plains landscape, situated along the county line between Lamb Co Hockley Co. This agricultural region is defined by a grid-like network of rural routes and the subtle topography of the Llano Estacado. The drainage of Yellow House Draw meanders through the southern portion of the quadrangle, serving as the primary natural landmark in a territory dominated by cotton fields and intermittent playa lakes. The naming conventions of the local roads are particularly striking, featuring an eclectic mix of states, countries, and international locales. Geographers and local historians can trace the paths of Tennessee, Spain, Poland, and Ontario, alongside regional arteries like Fm 597. This 2022 survey captures the persistent rural character of the Texas Panhandle, where the intersection of state-named roads and established farm-to-market routes creates a unique navigational identity.
