2019 Map of Olton

About this map

The high plains of Lamb County define this landscape, where the town of Olton serves as a concentrated center of activity amidst a vast, rectangular grid of agricultural roads. Located in the southeastern portion of the quadrangle, the community is organized around a traditional street plan, including numbered thoroughfares like 1st St and 5th St. To the west, the small settlement of Circle marks a junction on the highway. The surrounding terrain is characterized by numerous small, ephemeral basins and depressions typical of the Llano Estacado. This network of farm-to-market roads, such as Fm 168 and Fm 1072, facilitates the transit of agricultural goods throughout the region. The map captures the persistence of the rural Texas grid, where county roads like Co Rd 82 and Co Rd 122 stretch for miles across the level topography, connecting isolated farmsteads to the regional hubs.
