2022 Map of Pettit

About this map

Pettit occupies the central plains of the Texas Panhandle, positioned near the vertical boundary between Cochran Co and Hockley Co. The landscape is defined by a grid-like network of rural roads with distinctive international and geographic names, including Greece, Brazil Rd, and Santa Fe Rd. This geometric arrangement reflects the systematic land partitioning common to the High Plains, where agricultural tracts are serviced by farm-to-market routes like N Fm 303 and Fm 1780. In the northern portion of the quadrangle, the natural topography breaks from this rigid order at Yellow House Draw, a seasonal watercourse that snakes across the terrain. These ephemeral draws are critical historical markers of drainage and early cattle-driving routes in an otherwise semi-arid environment.
