2016 Map of New Deal

About this map

New Deal and the northern outskirts of Lubbock anchor this High Plains landscape, where the flat terrain is defined by the ephemeral path of Blackwater Draw and a grid of rural roads. The area shows a clear transition from agricultural fields to the industrial and transportation infrastructure of the city. A major focal point is the Lubbock Preston Smith International Airport, which occupies a large portion of the central terrain alongside the Lubbock Terminal Reservoir. The local street names, including MLK JR Blvd and N Martin Luther King Blvd, reflect the mid-twentieth-century expansion of the city northward. Small rural clusters like Liberty and Emerson dot the landscape, connected by farm-to-market roads such as E Fm 1729 that serve the outlying ranching and farming community.
