2016 Map of Post West

About this map

The Caprock Escarpment dramatically bisects this West Texas landscape, where the flat plains of the Llano Estacado drop sharply into the broken country of the Rolling Plains. The city of Post sits at the base of this transition, organized on a grid featuring W Main St and numbered avenues that reflect its planned origins. To the west, the higher plateau is characterized by large agricultural blocks and the settlement of Close City, connected by a network of county roads including Co RD 230 and Co RD 240. The rugged eastern half of the map is defined by the erosive action of seasonal waterways like Sand Cr, Rattlesnake Cr, and Falls Cr, which have carved deep canyons into the limestone and clay. This contrast between the orderly farmland above the rim and the convoluted terrain below highlights the geographic challenges that shaped local development and land use.
