2010 Map of Pettit

About this map

Pettit and its surrounding agricultural landscape are defined by a rigid grid of rural roads and the industrial footprint of energy extraction in Hockley County. In the early 21st century, this section of the South Plains illustrates the intersection of farming and the petroleum industry, dominated by the Levelland and Slaughter Oil and Gas Field in the southern portion of the quadrangle. The topography is largely uniform, with the notable exception of Yellow House Draw cutting across the northeastern corner. Named road networks such as England Rd, Kenya Rd, and Mexico Rd provide a structured framework for the scattered homesteads and agricultural operations like Whiteface Farms. The landscape is a clear example of the High Plains' organized settlement pattern, where every section is accessible by thoroughfares such as Fm 1780.
