About this map

Pettit and Whiteface Farms anchor this portion of the Texas High Plains, where a strict grid of rural roads defines the agricultural landscape. The region's connection to global trade and geography is reflected in an unusual naming convention for its thoroughfares, featuring routes such as England Rd, Brazil Rd, India Rd, and Kenya Rd. This organized infrastructure supports the local economy, which is heavily influenced by the presence of the Levelland and Slaughter Oil and Gas Field.

The map reveals a transition from traditional farming toward industrial resource extraction, with oil and gas activity interspersed among the large plots. Primary transit is facilitated by North-South corridors like FM-1780 and FM-303, while local access is maintained through named avenues like Topeka Ave and Richmond Rd. This survey provides a clear look at the intersection of energy production and rural Texas life during the early 21st century.
