2012 Map of Plains

About this map

Plains serves as the central hub of this West Texas landscape, showing the organized street grid of the town as it appeared in the early 21st century. The map reveals a town structure defined by numbered streets from 1st St to 17th St, intersected by alphabetically named thoroughfares such as Avenue A and Avenue E. To the northwest, the Plains Oil Field indicates the industrial energy footprint essential to this region, while the Yoakum County Airport sits just north of the residential center, accessible via Airport Rd. The surrounding territory is carved into a precise grid of rural roads, including Whiskey Rd and Poindexter Rd, which facilitate transport across the high plains. This map captures the intersection of traditional West Texas ranching country with modern infrastructure and petroleum extraction.
