2016 Map of New Home

About this map

New Home and Petty anchor this landscape in the southern High Plains of Lynn County, showing a highly structured rural settlement pattern. The terrain is characterized by a dense grid of county roads and farm-to-market routes, such as FM 211 and FM 1730, which provide access to numerous small wetlands and playa lakes scattered across the plains. These ephemeral water bodies, mapped by the FWS National Wetlands Inventory, are vital geological features of the Llano Estacado. The precision of the road network, including family-named ways like Hiracheta Dr and established thoroughfares like FM 1317, reflects the area's deep roots in industrial-scale agriculture and localized community centers in the early 21st century.
